100 Variations, detail
(100 altered Rubik's cubes), 2008

(scroll down to view)

100 cubes are stacked in 100 different possible variations, limited to a 6 x 6 x 4 cube base. The variations were determined first on paper, then I created each stack and photographically documented the resulting sculptures.

There is a form of trickery at play in the photos since the sense of light and contrast is created not through the photographic process, but through the properties of the gray-scaled cube itself. The forms appear to be lit by a strong directional source despite being evenly lit. The photos of the stacks look as though they are photographed in black and white, but are in fact, colour photos.
