James Corbett

Born 1962, Australia 

 

"My works are in essence a solved puzzle. They are not unlike an impressionist's painting, that if viewed closely is a cluster of separate solid colours, but when viewed from further away is transformed into a fluid image. Unlike such a painting, each separate component in my sculptures has its own history. Long into the future my works will be both a tactile three dimensional image, and a time capsule from the age of the motorcar."
