Artist Makes Optical Illusion Vases That Create Secret Images When Put Together (7 Pics)
There’s more than meets the eye about Greg Payce’s vases, because the true beauty of his work lies not in the ceramic itself but in the empty spaces in-between them.
Look closely to see what we mean. The artist has created a subtle illusion that uses the outer surfaces of his vases to draw secret faces and figures. His sculptures comprise a project that the Canadian ceramicist calls Alumina, and the idea draws inspiration from what’s known as Rubin’s Vase. In 1915 the Danish Psychologist Edgar Rubin created a series of two-dimensional drawings that played on the idea of hidden faces, and now Payce has reimagined that idea by bringing it to life in a three-dimensional form. It’s a truly positive use of negative space. (h/t: mymodernmet)
