Clothing Sculpture: Suspension 4 (detail), 2002

Size:
6′ 7″ x 7′ x 7′ (H x W x D)

Materials:
Metal suitcase, acrylic, second-hand clothing, wood & steel

Description:
The outline of a male figure is carved through the lid of a vintage metal suitcase. The case is then painted with matte black paint inside and out.

The contrast between pure darkness and spectral black is subtle but with the help of a naturally occurring optical effect, we are able to discern the figure.
