Description

Origin Of The Artist In A Cave references the birthplace of art by placing the digital sculpture, titled The Artist, within a setting of religious ceremonies and mythology. Through the use of light and shadow that reflects themes of Plato’s Allegory of the Gave, the realistic cavernous environment showcases the sculpture's connection with its inner and outer worlds, the past and present, as well as digital and physical space. The Artist is depicted at an epic scale looping in a circular turntable style that meditates on the dualities within our 21st-century existence. The sculptural form depicted in Origin Of The Artist In A Cave is derived from a 3D scan of my face. Through the removal of specific facial elements and the crafting of the form to reflect the history of ancient Etruscan mirrors, the digital sculpture subverts the idea that artists hold a mirror to society suggesting instead that an artist can be a conduit for the connections between our subconscious and conscious minds.
