Experimentation: Shadow as object

Here I have tried to replicate the shadows in physical form, firstly putting the shapes into paper. I have then hung them together to create one mass. I feel that this does not evoke the intesity of a shadow and thetefore is a representation of the impossibility of preserving a shadow. By shining light on the sculpture, the shadow shapes as a collective create a new shadow displaying the evasive quality of this transcient process, throwing up new intangible, irreplacable moments.

To further experiment I would like to make these paper shapes in a different material maybe something even more man made and crude looking, to see how this attempt at re-creation makes me feel.
