Bending the light is a new method for generating artworks that extends the classical anamorphic archetype to use freeform reflective and refractive media and 3D surfaces instead of images. The methodology uses a mix of raytracing and surface deformation techniques to determine the proper deformation the object should undergo to be corrected by the optical tool once viewed by the observer in a specific location. The reflected image hovers in front of, rather than behind, the mirror. The audience forms an essential part of the work. The holographic or ghost-like appearance of the reflection results from the interplay between the mirror, sculpture and the eye of the viewer. The sculpture has been recently selected as a finalist for the prestigious Wynne Prize and exhibited at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Before then, it was also exhibited at Sydney Contemporary.
