The perfection in Sculpture
Andrew Conway-Hyde’s choice of materials and techniques is integral to the success of his sculptures. Resin, a versatile and durable material, allows him to create smooth, polished surfaces that contrast with the organic, fluid forms. The use of resin also enables him to achieve a deep, dark surface that enhances the sense of mystery and depth in his works.
Gold leaf, on the other hand, is used to create a sense of luxury and radiance. The delicate nature of gold leaf requires precision and care, and Conway-Hyde’s skill in handling this material is evident in the meticulous arrangement of the gold pieces in his sculptures. The interplay of light and gold leaf is particularly striking in “Cloth of Gold,” where the layers of gold create a dynamic and ever-changing visual experience.
