Tim Noble & Sue Webster
British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster make sculptures that are unremarkable in and of themselves, but which cast amazing realistic shadows onto gallery walls. This first piece is “Dirty White Trash (With Gulls)”, composed from the artist’s rubbish from the six months it took to create piece (plus a pair of dead seagulls, for good measure).

The science behind those is really interesting to me. Plus, the shadows are beautiful. Wow.

i am honestly having a really difficult time believing it was what it says it is - an actual shadow. the piles are angular and full of gaps, the images are soft and rounded and full. i can believe that it’s a very good art trick - wherein the shadow image is from something else but appears to be of the pile, but i just can’t see how those shadows are of the piles in front of them. i would love to see these from another angle.

Amy,
I have seen these sculptures, and I assure you the shadows are quite real. It’s almost disconcerting how -much- detail the artists put into the piles to get the right texture of shadow and light.
