BBC 3 Sculpture 2012

Over the summer me and VITO WALKER were commissioned to make an interactive object designed to accommodate the aims and objectives of the BBC 3 creative team.

 The four triangles can be stacked together onto a base to create a pyramid.

 The pyramid was used as an interactive training aid at a BBC 3 staff training event.

The pyramid was covered with velcro dots that participants stuck on material relevant to each of the 'buzz words'.

The pyramid put back together at the end of the session.

Olafur Eliasson Watercolours

Colour Experiment No. 3 (2009)

Exercises in perception in space and movement using ellipses and circles.

''All the projects revolve around our experience of spaces, collective and individual, and the ways in which our personal engagement changes both spatial dimensions and our understanding of the social spheres in which we take part.'' p1

''Eliasson does not regard space as a naturally occurring substance but as a completely cultural project , which changes as time passes and as it is used in different ways.'' p13

''Another book central to the understanding of Eliasson's working method is Henri Lefebvre's The Production of Space (1974). Here, Lefebvre outlines a bold ''unitary theory'' in which he attempts to fuse social, mental, architectural, and historical space. Unlike the current idea of space as an empty vessel to be filled with something, he is interested in how space is produced. A body is not simply in space; it generates space itself. In isolation bodies have neither meaning nor existence. They are reflected in and translated into the changes they create in their milieu, or in their own space. Lefebvre replaces the notion of space as a ''geometric concept'' or ''empty milieu'' with ''substance'', which he admits is simpler to experience than to understand.'' p.15

A collaboration with Mike Ditchburn. Mike's drawing mirrors the room it was created in. The sculpture was made to be occupied and the drawing acts as a record of this. http://www.michaelditchburn.co.uk/MIRROR-DRAWING
