Two-faced is a floor sculpture made of two pieces, each
with two different sides. The two units are placed in a curve in relation to
each other. I used black-and-white with the natural brown color of the bamboo
to create contrast. The diamond shapes of the stretched bamboo create negative
spaces and create patterns with shadow and light. The two different sides and the
created shadows make the viewer walk around it as it presents a different image
from each angle.
I
enjoy the visual contrast of the piece and also how it relates to the idea of
having two faces. This refers to the way people can convey more than one personality.
They might look like one thing from the outside but like something else from
the inside. This is one of the biggest illusions that everyone has to face
nearly everyday.
This
piece was created in response to the Australian artist Glen Bowman’s piece, Fragmented
Illusions #3.
