POLYCHROMATIC SPINNING CUBE Videos

As the Cube spins, a ceaseless battle unfolds between the dual elements of form (the grid) and color as each vies for the viewer’s attention. At times, the lattice aligns in such a manner that it appears as a flat, two-dimensional grid, before turning again to disassemble into dense clusters of rods. Unexpected patterns arise and flutter across the surface of the sculpture. Cutting perspectives make their way through the visual noise, only to fall away again in a wash of moirés.
