This is my latest creation I haven’t got a name for it, are there any suggestions?
What I wanted to attempt with this piece is to get the central cube to hover.
I have always been drawn towards designs and images that play with the perception of space within my mind.
When I wore a younger mans clothes I remember I visited the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam
there I saw an unassuming work of art. Remarkable in the fact
that when you walked past it, it gave the illusion
that there was a fly in the room.
The artist and the title have long since passed out of mind
but the image has stayed with me a truly powerful experience.
As I walk down this path called life I oft heard
it said that that artist or that piece of work
was to me so spiritual and moving. Am I blind, why has nothing moved me so, setting up a vibration of understanding
and appreciation?
I can appreciate technical ability
I can appreciate the energy and effort to compile the work,
I can appreciate that it is clever,
I can comprehend the technical nuances
and yet sometime I find it difficult to engage emotionally
that is until I came across the outstanding work
of Fred Sandbach August 29, 1943 – June 23, 2003
a minimalist that really altered the space within my head
.all with little pieces of wool
