Seeking Celestial Shadows
Project type
Forged steel sculptures
Location
Herefordshire
Date
June 2025
From my final module Practice 6 these are a series of sculptures which are inspired by ancient earthworks of astronomy and celestial constellations.
They are forged with patterns and rivets creating an industrial look but also an archaic feel to them in credit to our ancestors inventions like the Ancient Greek Antikythera device and the Arab Astrolabes.
There is a reoccurring crescent shape assembled by rivets to form the sculpture. This collection includes static works and a kinetic sculpture based on an orrery. These works are aimed to excite the viewer's curiosity by observing the play of light and shadow across them.
