Catalogue Essay Shirley MacWilliam, Interessay
Virtual Breeze (rapid prototype sculptures and a projected
animation)
Live-Wire-Frame, (Electroluminescent wire, light sculpture)
Underskirt (a computer animation)
Cut Glass (engraved glass)
All of the components in this body of work have a common
starting point; that of an animated CAD model of a tablecloth
blown by a computer generated breeze. In Virtual Breeze the
freeze frames of the animation have been output as resin sculptures
produced as rapid prototypes, placed on an acrylic construction
referencing computer space, and blown by a digital projection
of a fan. Underskirt looks underneath the blown cloth; the
animation looses its formal wire frame origins and becomes
organic and seductive. Freeze frames of this animation become
the fine engravings of Cut Glass, almost imperceptible. Finally,
Live-Wire-Frame takes the wire frame from the animation into
the physical form, where unlike the other works the means
of production is made overtly visible.
