Research Contribution
Whereas the sculptural forms comprising Equal Solids worked from eighteenth century mathematical formulae derived form the discipline of Solid Geometry to create computer rendered solids of equal volume but differing shape. In the photographs reshot for this ‘exhibition in a book’, Redgate sought to destabalise experience and perception by translating sculptural forms based on calculations dating back to Isaac Newton in a two-dimensional form.
Research Significance
This book features the art of seven ‘mature and sophisticated’ Australian and New Zealand contemporary artists, including John Barbour, Jane Burton, Alin Huma, David McDowell, Monique Redmond, Sarah Ryan, Darren Sylvester. selected using the theme 'within'. The theme foregrounds concepts such as interiority, states of mind associated with meditation and reflection - as well as melancholia and loss.
