Irony

Irony, Sculpture
Irony
Irony is a perspective on perspective in many metaphorical ways. As a block on point, it is playful, imaginative, as the pair of models, naked as innocent children, interacting with objects in unusual, dream-like ways, the meaning entirely a matter of one’s own interpretation. Irony is part of a figurative series, which turns a 2D process into a 3D one. As sculptural photography, it allows the viewer to see the subjects as if they were suspended in a block of ice, from all four sides and from the top and bottom as well, merely by walking around the cube, an eight-foot-high structure, measuring 42 inches on a side, balanced with one of its corners on a triangular pyramidal pedestal. a block on point is playful, imaginative, creative, and so are the pair of nude models, their nakedness symbolizing the innocence of children, playing with objects—or interacting through them—in unusual, surrealistic, and dream-like ways, the meaning of which is entirely a matter of one’s own interpretation of whats next?
