Verisimilitude – ‘Real: False Reality’
Verisimilitude is shown greatly throughout Ken Kelleher’s work. His large-scale sculptures are playful, mesmerising and memorable. His digital not only focuses on the sculpture but also the space/location and how its positioned and perceived. The visual expression Ken aims to achieve is one that is open to interpretation. In one piece someone may see something playful, or whimsical, in another, it may feel strange.
Question or provocation: What is it that you want to understand/explore by doing this work?
I would like to explore Ken Kelleher’s sculpture style into my own work by manipulating effects and emotions upon a person. I hope to make an environment confusing and out of place yet mesmerising and attentive.
Materials and Process
Using Meshmixer I will create my own digital assemblages. I want to use 3D objects downloaded from Clara.io as a starter. Also using the bushes and objects from Meshmixer to change and warp them.
Presentation Format
I will present my sculpture through ArtSteps as a virtual reality work through experience. I want my work to be shown as if it was its own exhibition and also for photographic documentation.
