Ricci Albenda

Action at a Distance(2000), fiberglass, paint and drywall.
Ricci Albenda creates sensuous sculptural forms, subtly "scooped out" of the gallery wall. The artist sees these works as "portraits to another dimension", but 'dimension' is a word of multiple meanings.



I thought that these were quite interesting shapes, they are very organic shapes like the spherical shape we created for our projection. It might have been interesting if we could have created a shaped where half a spherial shape was emerged from the wall. This would have given us a fish eye effect with the part of the image that would be projected on the flat on the wall appearing further away and the part of the image appearing on the 3D spherical part of the wall appearing as if you were looking through a magnifying glass.
