Diet Wiegman Accumulated Piles of Junk Transform Into Illusionistic Shadow Art by Shigeo Fukuda Shigeo Fukuda “The whimsical nature of the shadow art also impresses viewers. ‘When the light isn’t on, you can imagine how their Larry Kagan brain works. They are looking at abstract art,’ said Kagan. ‘Then the light goes on, and they see the shadow and they laugh.’” I sculpt using both light and shadow. I construct single or multiple objects and place them in relation to a single light source. The complete artwork is therefore comprised of both Kumi Yamashita the material (the solid objects) and the immaterial (the light or shadow). Student Samples & Directions. 1. Use found objects from home and a distinct light source. 2. Place them together or stack them. Rearrange and manipulate your objects to create an easily recognized "Shadow Image" 3. Photograph, put your name on it and submit via the blog.
