The box has a series of interchangeable modular plywood faces featuring various laser-etched, computer-generated 3D moire drawings.
Each carries inserted gummy bears with words laser-etched onto them that form sentences with varying meanings depending on the orientation of reading, left-right, up-down.
Through the making process the idea of the 'stage' be- came relevat to the work. The lightbox could be open, resembling a theatre stage, allowing light to interact with the bears in multiple ways. The plywood cutout bears be- come something like teeth or spectators in a diorama-like setting. The character of the piece changing depending on the lighting conditions.
︎︎︎ Shown as part of ‘Lambing Season’. An exhibition organised by Slade Fine Art Media students at Worlding Projects.
