Summary
[edit]DescriptionAfloat by Hamish Black, 1998 (4058336623).jpg |
West of Palace Pier, Brighton East Sussex. The shape comes from a taurus form (a speculative form for how black holes might look). Based on a globe, the points at the north and south poles are pushed together through the sphere, forming a central hole where they meet. Viewing ‘Afloat’ from the beach end of the promontory is therefore seeing it from what would have been one of the poles. The concentric radial indentations around its surface are the longitudinal lines. Major world continents exist as negative shapes cut out of the form in recesses deep enough to exclude light. The continents are not in realistic proportion to one another and they float, seemingly adrift, across the surface. The site for ‘Afloat’, on the end of a small promontory, was selected to enable the viewer, when looking seawards, to see the horizon through the central hole in the sculpture. It appears as a line following through the lines of longitude on the sculpture. The blue/green patination forms a link to the ever changing colour of the sky and the sea.’ See <a href="http://www.publicsculpturesofsussex.co.uk/object?id=55" rel="nofollow">www.publicsculpturesofsussex.co.uk/object?id=55</a> |
