Imagined space can be conceived through time within dreams. But can a space we physically occupy be just as fantastical? The observation of light interacting with space lead to something dreamlike through its relationship with the planes. Shadows become a vital counterpart to the strength of light. A space made up of planes with shadows that converge and mutate through time cannot only be imagined it can be found and created.

The Mobile: Breaking Apart a Cube

Calder based the solid shapes in his mobiles on leaves and birds that move through the sky. The planes of this mobile initially seem just to be two shapes of various sizes. Yet the way I assembled them revealed a fascinating relationship among the planes. Their positions could be seen as frames of an object moving in time and changing in size.

Sculptor Alexander Calder: The Mobile

My initial attraction to Calder’s Mobiles was based on his use of wire. The unique quality of wire allows it to be a 2-dimentional and 3-dimentional form simultaneously. However, I discovered another quality to these mobiles when i replicated one based on these images above.

I should have posted this first.

This was the first step in making my own mobile. I started with a cube and then proceeded to break it apart.

The previous video was the result of me breaking it apart.
