Paul Malone : 4 Yellow Skies

4 Yellow Skies : Perspex, yellow perspex, french enamel, silver powder, fixtures. 25 x 25 x 8 cms : 2002

An early example of the genre. A four layer perspex sandwich with square outline. An arrangement of four yellow cicles on layer 2 counterpoints the four hex bolts and 4 painted shadows of the piece.

This unit recalls the retinal impact of photons of light, their after images and simple shadows in the memory. The small circles and their shadows emulate the frozen expansion of the gravitational pseudo-force. The whole is experienced again as a machined artifact.
