This sculpture was made a long time ago and represented my fear about the age of technology. The black and white photographs were taken with a manual camera, printed by hand and collaged onto sheets of hand cut acrylic. There are several layers as guessed by its depth, impossible to show in one photograph. It hangs at an angle from ceiling or wall where layers can be viewed from different perspectives. Each layer is literally another perspective. Made the year I bought my first computer, after leaving two jobs to digital machines – black and white photo development and screen-printing; both once done the traditional way.
wow luv, it's impressive in this pic, it must really be something first-hand! how you've achieved the multi-dimensional angel is pretty incredible. i know what you mean about fearing technology, it helps and hinders.
cheers,

Again an outstanding effort. I'd like to see this in real life - does it extend upwards (downwards) from the base a la a pyramid shape? This sculpture is really cleverly conceived.

Thanks Kerry, just heard Agfa has closed production of photographic paper to hand develop. The list goes on. Not afraid of technology being digital anymore, but angst at the lack of opportunity and important grounding being missed by new photographers and other artists.
The angle seen here Detlef is from the side like you are looking at it directionally above on the ceiling. Digital photographed today on the driveway, then cleaned up and added background in photoshop. Extremely difficult to photograph without studio and directional lighting due to reflections on the pyramid like semi-dome based structure. The base shape is the layer with top right wing. Angled due to least reflection, not dispertion of light. A geometric dome at the top is 360 degrees and glows in the dark. Don't want to go on, have more than a dozen pages about its conception and construction.
This piece is absolutely amazing! And like everyone else, wow I wish I could see it in person. I was floored when I read it was 3D, astounding. It is an extremely powerful image, as is all of your work. I am so glad you shared it on IF because it is really thrilling to see! Best Regards, Jacque
Wow! I absolutely love this. Interesting, beautiful, and unsettling. And, I agree with others, would love to see it in person.
This is stunning. I love the symbolism in your work, its so moving.
wow.. this is very trippy and very interesting.. you can just keep staring at it...
this ones pritty interesting. still not sure if i like it or not but i just cant help but keep looking at it. :) love the black and white approach.
It looks like Icarus. Which is sort of a story about technology gone awry, as well.
Thanks everyone :)
The furthest layers begin with nature, then man imitating nature and his endeavour to embrace and control all matter.
The layers you can see the most from this angle are the unsettling ones. You are not supposed to like it but awe at man surpassing nature, wonder about the future. Be forewarned. Like the story of Icarus Shelly!
Dazzling ! I luv how the wings are made from satalite dishes and space shuttles. Great job on the moon too, how it represents all the art of the human race. This is a total knock-out!
Pow !
Right in the kisser!
:-D
Not sure what end that was Steve, but thanks! The space bits were photographed in a museum (with a permit).
I am very glad I found your site - thanks for visiting mine! I feel a thrill when I discover real, true artists like you. Go for it, angel, not even the sky is your ceiling!
The synthesis of human and machine... This is a startling piece of work and keeps the eye moving across it. I think Shelly might be onto something with Icarus.
Thank you Dreamjar, "Go for it, not even the sky is your ceiling", is a positive caption for the image!
However, as Ian T. and Shelly point to Icarus ... have learnt to trust instincts and felt a dreadful warning back in the day the sculpture was made. My artwork is mostly a diary of such "knowings".
Icarus! that's it. a modern icarus. hey luv, i think you've sent all your buds to my place, i'm currently surrounded by ozzies...they're literally surrounding my apartment at the moment, peering in my windows, a few on my patio, it's funny waking up to "oy mate, pass me that will ya?" (bud yells back) "sush ya ejit, she's still sleeping" hee hee...we seem to have imported an all ozzie crew.
thanks for your advice on my project!
cheers,
kerry
I just love your work. I wish you posted more!

Kerry, tell them if they behave you'll give them a beer at the end of the day. If problems with translation, try 'Ozzie' language at http://www.psyclops.com/translator/
Chucks Harry, I love your work too! If I posted more, might become solely digital due to no time for traditional methods. Although you seem to cope :)
i know that language! dad's a faithful brit and mum's a kiwi, so beer tends to be a cultural common denominator.(that's where my gut comes from!) (the genetic trait is my excuse anyway!)
i'll check out the translator for a laugh though, but all i've gotta say is that i'm glad they haven't used the "c" word yet...i know it's popular down under, but it's not so welcome up here. especially since my building is boiling over with feminists!
cheers

Translated for Ozzies, Kerry says "know that language! dad's a faithful brit and mum's a kiwi, so tinnie tends to be a cultural common denominator.(that's where me gut comes from!) (the genetic trait is me excuse anyway!) i'll check out the translator for a cack though, but all i've gotta say is that i'm glad they haven't used the "c" word yet...i know it's popular down under, but it's not so welcome up here, mate. especially since me building is boiling over with feminists!"
Mwahahahahaha, what a great image, Canadian feminists chasing an Ozzie crew! Although rough, they are generally well mannered if yakka is around ladies.
You consistenly inspire awe and admiration.
Wow, this is really unique. Different from anything I've seen you do before, different from anything I've seen on Illio Fri. Very striking!
Ditto Amy! Your work is inspirational!!
Thank you Miss Daze, have been trying to steer away from sculpture etc. for Illo Friday but due to moving soon and perhaps death of this piece, finally digitally recorded. I have been waiting for an excuse to not have to wait for perfect weather for lighting etc. to photograph and Illo Friday was it!
It's a bare man.
It is indeed a bearman, BoiledEggInADeckchair. You are two years late!
