Satu-Minna Suorajärvi: Isästä poikaan
I was inspired by Marcel Duchamp's 1912 painting Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2. The painting combines elements of both Cubist and Futurist movements. In the composition, Duchamp depicts motion by successive superimposed images, similar to stroboscopic motion photography. Duchamp also recognized influence of stop-motion photography by Étienne-Jules Marey. Particularly important was Muybridge's Woman Walking Downstairs from his 1887 picture series published as The Human Figure in Motion.
In my Father to Son sculpture human silhouettes (my husband and son) are joined together to capture movement and time in a sculpture. Silhouettes form a cavity, which refers to feminine forms like tunnels. Viewer can see through the sculpture and another human figure emerges on the other end of the sculpture.
From Father to Son sculpture was 3d modeled using sine waves and parametric Grasshopper software. I have been 3d printing the sculpture in several parts to PLA (polylactic acid) which is bioplastic made from cornstarch. PLA parts were cast to aluminiun and welded together. Polished sculpture was gun spraypainted.
Glossy surface emits lights and refers to the enlightenment and rationale in humanities. The shady cavity gives space for mystery and creation.
