Tim Noble and Sue Webster: Shadow sculpture

Artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster play with lights function of revealing things that may at first be invisible. Spot lights shine on a seemly randomly piled heap of rubbish, as if saying “look at this trash!”. The hidden art is actually revealed in the play of light and shadow. Its got a bit of a 'don't judge a book' - 'one mans trash' feel to the whole collection. I have no idea how they come up with the sculptures, or how they construct them, all i know is that its extremely clever, and its unusual looking at the photos and thinking 'wow, thats pretty cool' when its a pile of rubbish. There's a whole lot of information about the collection scattered around the web, so if you like what you see go check more out.
