Split Street Lamp in Green

LEGO Elements

70”x8”x16”

Split Street Lamp in Green shows a monochromic street lamp sliced in half. Standing just under six feet tall and containing a working light, this work has a scale and functionality that emanates an unexpected realism while exploring incompleteness and perspective. If one looks at Split Street Lamp in Green from a specific angle, one imagines an entirely whole object. But if that perspective is altered in any way, the incompleteness of the object is revealed. Similarly, when individuals are viewed from a specific angle, others frequently assume to know how that person is feeling. But it is only by changing that perspective that we can better understand the complexity of someone else’s true emotions.
