SPIKE WOLFF shadow : an image created by the interception of light : a reflection or vestige : the trace of something no longer present 2012 aluminum screen I am interested in the relationship between image and object. This project maps and builds the light as shadow, materializing virtual image into built form. When light falls back upon the object, it eclipses the original ray of light to form a new shadow on the wall, and acts as camouflage to diffuse the object. In this way, light and shadow (the image) simultaneously reaffirms and dissembles the physical form (the object). In this construction and deconstruction of the visible, shadow fluctuates between object and image. The drawing side (south wall, on right as you enter gallery) maps the static light as illuminated by the street lamps at night. The dimensional side (north wall, to your left) maps the dynamic light as daylight tracks through the window. BIO: artist, architect, educator who continually provokes new readings of our reality.
