Radial / THREE / kandy black

Radial / THREE takes the idea of adding time and motion to a static artwork, by using animation tools to create 24 individual frames from a motion based sequence of images.

These frames have then been recomposed back into one singular whole.

The 24 frames create a kind of ‘circle of life’ radiating out tangentially from their central core, to form a 120cm diameter toroid, that invites the viewer to contemplate the image not as a traditional landscape or portrait work, but as a more sculptural piece, that fully encapsulates it’s own geometry, as the linework curls back in like a breaking wave where it meets the outer edge of the circle.

By having no apparent start or endpoint, it also creates a kind of endless continuum.

It’s a piece that breaks with a number of conventions, not least by having a hole laser cut out of its centre to enhance the sculptural nature of the digital drawing, but also by condensing a motion based animated sequence of images back into a single final frame.
