anish kapoop and william pye

This is a sculpture made by William Pye. his inspiration for this piece came from an adjustable stove pipe joint. he talks about the simplicity of the pipe joint and his fascination of how the circular parts work in harmony.  his sculpture was made in 3 parts, covered in a think layer of stainless steel.motors in the sculpture created a cycle of frozen and moving relationships. the mirrored surface disguises the rotating circles. i looked into this piece of art as i to want to experiment with mirrors/mirrored surfaces. at the start of this project i looked into animation, when the sculpture moves, you could say that is a type of animation in its self. i thought this piece was an interesting one.

this video is about anish kapoors work and how it is made. it shows you some of the makets he makes and his sketches that he does on the walls of his studio. some  of the models for his work are made out of polystyrene and imitate the same idea of using stone. this one does not feature his mirror sculptures.

talks about his mirrored piece that is placed in South Downs. The piece is called cea curve. the man talks about the piece being quite disorientating, is it a new form of landscape painting? the sheer size, simplicity and beauty of it. how is manipulates the image. its a constant present.Another piece called sky mirror, people are fascinated by the change of the sculpture. the sky changes and so does the sculpture. could be seen as animation? how the sculpture merges with the landscape, yet is a piece in its own right.
