Carbon Void Aluminium / Tom Price

这块看上去像石头的物件是艺术家Tom Price最近完成的一个几何研究项目Carbon Void Aluminium。更多请至：Tom Price on gooood 

Tom Price告诉gooood，Carbon Void Aluminium是由两个相交的立方体构成，内层是一个空心的铝立方体，人们可以透过边缘的孔隙看见复杂的中空内部，受光照的影响，内部光影变化十分丰富。而外层，则是外表皮恰好和铝立方体保持一致的压缩煤炭。

form the artist:

Carbon Void Aluminium is study of material and basic positive and negative geometry. The outer shape is defined by the overlapping segments of two intersecting cubes and fabricated in cast ground coal.

A hollow aluminium cube sits in the centre of this shape and pierces the surface where it extends beyond the boundary of the coal, allowing us to peer inside through sharply framed apertures. A rich pattern of layered light and shadows plays on the inner surfaces.

外观的多面层仿佛被利刃切开似得，铝几何体的表面光滑，造型锐利，闪耀着银光，与黑亮的煤炭形成了对比。两个表层的融为一体却又似乎截然不同，这种备具想象力的个性让人感触极深。Tom Price不光大胆对材料进行探索和运用，也思考人，建筑，还有几何空间的关系。

该作品摆放在空间中可以当做凳子或者茶几，也可以只把它看成一件艺术品。

The Carbon Void Series explores the notion of absence as a signifier of function. Made to human scale the works examine through simple geometry our relationship with objects and the architecture of what we create to house and support the human form. Resting on one of its facets the inner void may become functional as a seat or container; placed on another it loses its function and becomes purely sculptural.
