This is a video of a maquette for a potential commission I’ve been working on of ‘The Crucified Christ’. It was inspired by the ‘Visual Perception and the Brain’ course presented by Professor Dale Purves on Coursera.org, which led me to wrestle with the idea of ‘The Inverse Problem as it relates to Optics’. It’s a fascinating subject even if 90% of it goes straight over my head! Once again, it was partly inspired by the catalogue from the recent ‘Picasso and Paper’ exhibition at the Royal Academy. They have generously provided a virtual tour of the exhibition for our viewing pleasure!
(Maquette made from A4 sheet of polypropylene – approx dimensions 29cm x 30cm x 14cm)
