Fred Eerdekens is a belgian artist that sculpts space from lights, objects and shadows. 
Focusing on the torso of the mannequin, I wanted to make a series of  wire torsos basically because I like working with wire and wanted to make a 3D sculpture. I positioned them beside artificial lighting and recorded them visually through digital media to capture the sillouettes/ shadows caused from this piece.




I started to look at the mannquins features i.e. torso and find other things that correspond with it. Such things was the barbie doll. Using a viewfinder I recorded through thumbnail drawings the barbie dolls in their own environment which for this lot was a novelty suitcase. Then like the mannequin, I dismantled the barbie dolls and compiled them all onto a piece of mdf.Following on from that I thought it would be interesting to make relief cast to interpret the scattered limbs.
