Transpose Series #1-3
Acrylic, 7.5"x 15" x4"
Kevin Byrd's Transpose series (first unveiled at MA) is a collection of carefully constructed acrylic boxes. Each box is composed of thin layers of colored plastic cut with the precision of a LASER. The shape of each box can best be described as a "house with an inverted roof." The depth of the dimple tricks the eye--when viewed from afar, it seems deeper than when you approach it up close.
"I also like the way the light passing through the layers emits patterns over the course of a sun-filled day, and the way the colors mute on a cloudy one. I was inspired by Donald Judd and the color light works of Dan Flavin. I too like working with industrial-engineered processes & materials. It should be noted that these pieces also make great wheel-stoppers for airplanes."
