A while ago I had access to a laser cutter and made this piece from white cartridge paper, which is great for casting shadows and for photographing through.

Creating Cast Shadows
Cast plaster hemispheres with small facets rotated in sequence.
The same cast hemispheres turned over in place, to rest on their facets.
Cast plaster “cakes” rotated in a set sequence around the four points of the compass.
Creating Cast Shadows
A simple arrangement of hemispherical castings on a white background produces a rich variety of grey tones.
Later when the sun has moved around the shadows are much softer
Colour – pink
The morning sunlight was particularly vivid today just at the right time to fall through an early work by my mother Rosemary Wakelin casting a pink glow onto the wood floor and throwing a pink sash around the clock-case.
The sculpture in pink and blue Perspex hangs in my hall window and reminds me of the time it hung in my mother’s house filling her kitchen with a warm pink glow.
Creating cast shadows
A work in progress – based on rotations of four types of cast disc – the backboard will be white.
