Description
Heliosphere follows a range of works that were developed from exploring paper folding and pleating. After coming across the paper works of a sculptor named Richard Sweeney, Thomas fell in love with the fluid nature and organic forms that could be achieved by cutting, folding and pleating pieces of paper. This shape came from drawing a series of concentric circles on paper and then folding along the lines, after folding, the sheet of paper can be cut and then slowly bent and manipulated to create this kind of infinity loop. The process is very long and you have to be incredibly patient, but when the form finally starts to cooperate it is very rewarding.
Once the artist had the folded paper form, countless days were spent applying wax and building up a consistently thick layer all over the form. The longest part of the process is smoothing off the wax to achieve a satisfying finish, which is actually one of the sculpting processes that Thomas enjoys the most.
The resulting form is then sufficiently thick that allows for the artist to take a mold from it and from that to produce a bronze casting using the lost-wax process
Presentation
Thomas follows a passion for creating form based abstract sculpture which responds to aesthetics and fractals within nature. Exploring such principles as Fibonacci led to an understanding that the stunningly beautiful yet often simple laws that nature follow, result in what could most closely be described as perfection within our environment and are synonymous with aesthetic beauty, balance and perfection.
