Love.
I find this work so interesting, by artist Beni Bischof. The images of castles have been digitally manipulated so that they become mere representations of what was before. The windows have been removed, along with any internal and background details. I wonder how many details can be removed before they are no longer perceived as castles? We fill the gaps as viewers, with the information that is retained in our memory.
Today I wondered whether this shadow; this changed version could come about by changing the material? Like the cornflour singlet experience, where the straps were felt to be necessary for me to experience the sensation of actually wearing it, Ricky Swallow's work plays on our typical associations by drastically changing the material. Wooden sculptures depict soft or draped objects, creating a paradoxical experience as a viewer. I can only imagine how it might change the way a person would interact with it.
Some more lovely examples. These shoes are made from resin, where Japanese plastic food sample methods have been employed.
