Sebastian Velasquez







5 feet tall x 4 feet wide x 2 feet in depth
mig welded 5/16 inch steel round stock, matte black spray paint, and black India ink

For this sculpture, I decided to take a geometric approach in the line work and construction of a human form.  With this part 2D part 3D human form, I am attempting to create a confusing reality to the viewer so that there is a moment of uncertainty in the reality of their surroundings, unable to depict what is flat to the wall and what is extruded from.  The transforming from 2 dimensions to 3 dimensions refers to the multi-dimensionality of the world we live in and our acute perception of this reality.  The multidimensionality of the piece points to a lack of understanding of further dimensions in the human mind.  By creating a optical illusion of the second and third dimension I am demonstrating how easily the human man can be deceived because of this lack of a multi-dimensional understanding.
