"A human being is only breath and shadow."
Sophocles
Stand Up, Sit Down (maquette)
2010, painted guaze and cardboard, approx. 12" x 6" x 6"
The "chair" bends the figure's shadow, rendering the epitome of two-dimensinonality, a shadow, into a three-dimensional form, the seated figure. By comparison, the physical three-dimensional element of the maquette, the standing figure, assumes the posture of a two-dimensional form.
