Try to recreate one of the body sculptures from Antony Gormley using Rhino. Find more of them in his website here.
I am really impressed by Antony Gormley's remarkable works that explore the relationship between space and the human body. His sculptures use the body as a model to examine themes of identity, the human condition, and space.
In many ways, Gormley's body sculptures are a reflection of the human experience. Through his art, he has given us a new way of seeing ourselves and our place in the world. His works are hauntingly beautiful, thought-provoking, and inspiring, inviting us to contemplate the mysteries of life and the universe. I think what the sculptures are trying to remind us is that we are part of something greater than ourselves and that it is up to each one of us to find meaning and purpose in our lives.
I took reference from Cast Framers, 2020–22 series.
With the Cast Framers, I became interested in the relationship between precarity and stability and how a collection of orthogonal space-frames could be crashed into one another or loosely linked to evoke various states of mind and body, and how they might foreground our relationship to space enforced and materialised through architecture. Retreat (Frame) (2021), for example, delineates a body-space formed by, and ‘retreating’ into, the corner of a room, whilst Relief (Frame) (2021) lies horizontal, back pressed against the wall, attempting to reconcile the organic form of a body with the hard surfaces and rigorous geometry of our habitat. In both, the space-frames are fully fused.
I first created lots of cubes in Rhino then try to arrange them to feel like the human body.
As I arranged the shapes, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for Antony Gormley's ability to capture the complexity and nuance of human proportions. It was a humbling reminder that creating art that truly reflects the human form is no easy task.
