Artist Statement
This figurative sculpture has been created from one whole 12" vinyl music record (Alan White, 'Ramshackled'), and mounted upon a 12 x 12 x 2cm black acrylic base with golden coloured mirror detail. The liquid-like form has been created using various heat sources. The modern materials maintain a fine art aesthetic.
The sculptures are caught in states of movement, dance and musing. Function becomes form.

Sculptures created from whole vinyl music records... nothing added and nothing removed from the original material. The abstract, figurative forms are organic in their conception, with the vinyl having a life of its own upon heating. I pair the final sculptures with modern, geometric materials such as perspex and acrylic - the hard solids contrasting with the solidified, liquid lava appearance of the vinyl. The figures recline, dance and become caught in a movement that was previously evoked from the playing of the records themselves.
