Acrylic Sheet/Perspex

Signed certificate of authenticity.

In western culture the heart is more than an organ pumping blood around the body, it has come to symbolise our inner essence. Terms such as cold hearted, soft hearted, change of heart, bleeding heart, and so on have all emerged to describe an individual’s character. ‘Heart of Gold’ represents in a literal three dimension way the term used to describe someone with a sincere, kind and generous nature.

'Heart of Gold' was a finalist in the 2019 Toorak Village Sculpture Exhibition.

This sculpture is comprised of thirteen 2 dimensional paintings on clear Perspex/acrylic sheet that are layered to give the illusion of a solid, floating 3 dimension object. The form of the sculpture changes dramatically depending on the angle you’re viewing it – this can be a little difficult to visualize with static photos so I’ve attached a short video that will give you an idea (see: https://youtu.be/IuDOz9zk92I)

The size of the artwork is 30cm(w) x 30cm(h) x 23.5cm(d). The sculpture comes with a protective acrylic case that measures 31cm(w) x 31cm(h) x 26.5cm(d). The white wooden base measures 33.5cm(w) x 3cm(h) x 29cm(d).
