sculpture /3 - industrial forms

I present my third sculpture — an attempt to transfer the principle behind my neo-constructivist paintings into the third dimension: the repeated use of various industrial forms to densify and reveal the logic of modern industrial systems.

The repeat-and-density approach here reads like a constellation map in metal. I shoot silhouettes against deep sky, so I'm used to reading forms as edges, and these industrial pieces stack in a way that feels closer to star positions than sculpture to me. The logic you're building with repetition is what makes it work. It's not random scatter.

Wow, that’s an interesting association, and it also has a certain underlying logic: basic geometric forms are, first of all, nature’s way of optimizing — points at which mass and energy find a form of culmination.

thank you,

The repetition working across dimensions like that. I shoot the same ridgeline over and over trying to find what makes it click in two dimensions, so seeing how you're chasing that density in sculptural form hits different.

Thank you — I really like that comparison with the ridgeline. Repetition can be the key where a form starts to work, revealing something unexpected.

cheers
