3. Transposition Study
Spaghetti, Superglue, 3”x3”x3”, (2022)
In an attempt to understand the multifaceted planes of a cube, I utilized pasta as a vehicle to express the different possibilities of shadows and linear shapes. I created four 3” cubes, each with different linear cuts and sections. As a result, between each angle, cube, and side, there is a new shifted perspective and shadow. With 6 sides on each cube, there is an infinite amount of light angles and perspectives.
Therefore, there are unlimited ways to view each of these 4 cubes. I could only select a few of these permutations to present, but I wanted to emphasize how the shifting cast shadows juxtapose the fixed nature of cubic shapes. The forms extended beyond the number of possibilities in presentation and the physical constraints of cubic forms as the shadows cast triangular and quadrilateral outlines.
