Bounding Boxes | 2010

 

729 steelwire cubes on paper base

3 m x 3 m x 3 m

 

 

The sculpture Bounding Boxes is a messy three dimensional matrix of steel-wire cubes placed on an infinite white background of plain white paper sheets.

 

Only the edges of the cubes are “drawn”, they merely delineate empty volumes. The thickness of the wires used to make a cube in relation to its size, make it seem like the structure cannot support itself. This creates the illusion of shapes drawn in space rather than being placed in it.
