ANTIPRISMs
Precision-cut, bevelled and hand-bonded optical glass and low-iron glass, steel base. 2021
Varying dimensions
‘Antiprisms’ are constructed from panels of clear and optically coated glass panels. The prismic forms are irregular polyhedra, created by bevelling precise angles into the sides and corners of equilateral triangles, which are then hand-bonded together.
The works are intended to be experienced as future relics of our technological age, prognostic vessels for the crystallisation of perspectives that are discovered like boulders resting in a landscape., inviting meditative reflection on the relationship between the timeless and the timely.
SNUB DISPHENOID 0.8, DEVELOPED TRIGONAL PRISM 1.25, TETRAKAIDECADELTAHEDRON 1.5 Specially created and presented for ‘The Shape of Light’ in the public realm (D3, Dubai) to investigate the spectral fingerprint produced by interfacing the passage of natural light with these prismic geometries. The project considered the relationship between the immutable language of geometric form and the dynamic, generative clockwork of optical interactions and spectral projections that shift and morph through day and night.
