Tim Nobel and Sue Webster

Tim Nobel and Saw Webster are two British artists who work as a collaborative duo and their Shadow Sculptures incorporate diverse materials including household rubbish, scrap metal and taxidermy animals.

By shining light onto these assemblages they are transformed into highly accurate shadow profiles of the artists.

 This work is composed of a new kind of self-portrait, sculpted out of six months' worth of the artists' rubbish; the remains of everything they needed to survive during the time it took to make the work. A single light source illuminates the pile of rubbish thus casting a portrait in shadow, which contrasts sharply with the materials used to create it.

I feel that I really connect with these installations and appreciate the properties and how much time this must take. So Im going to try this out...
