I am in the process of creating a series of non-visible sculptures. These sculptures are essentially non-physical, non-visible and non-tactile. They occupy space, but do not actually possess the space they occupy. They exhibit all the characteristics of ‘not being there’ in fact.
The rationale behind this series is that sculpture is generally an individual and provocative statement in physical form. One of the ways that sculpture manifests itself is to present itself as an indisputable object, in a definite space, around which people coexist and interact. This, however, presupposes that the sculpture should always have the affront to be as loud a creation as it is. What if the sculptural physical form should be too overpowering to harmonise with the daily lives of those around it? What if the intrusion is unwarranted? What if the presence of the sculpture is too permanent a statement to make all of the time?
To balance this unfair and long-standing unjust situation, I am creating these non-visible sculptures. You cannot see them. They do not have any physical manifestation at all. If you don't realise there's a sculpture there, that's as well, as your affairs and concerns are more than likely far more important than any statement that my sculpture has to make at that point in time. The sculpture should not intrude or dominate your path through life, simply because you have wandered into the sculptural exhibiting space.
