Love Letter: Neil Dawson

Share

I was hunting around and stumbled upon the work of this New Zealander’s art – it’s very inspiring.  See how the piece below, called HORIZONS looks so radically different when the weather changes.  It’s amazing how this sculpture is both volumetric and  flat at the same time.

The below sculpture is called ECHO.  The “house” is somehow suspended and looks like it is drawn in the sky.  When you walk around the piece and look up, the perspective apparently reverses itself.  On one side, the front of the building is visible from below, but when you move to the other side, the view changes, and the building is seen from above.  WOWSA.

 

 

 

 

 

How come we don’t know so much about this gent’s work in America?  Come to our neck of the woods, and make something cool, Neil.

Right?! And the sky is as important as the actual sculpture. Kind of like James Turrell's work!
