Cyclops v1
Auriea Harvey’s work combines digital and physical processes to create sculptures in physical space and mixed reality. Drawing from her extensive experience in net art and video games in the collaborative groups Entropy8Zuper!, Tale of Tales, and Song of Songs, she brings personal narratives and character development to her sculptures. Harvey begins her sculptural process by making scans from life. These scans mutate as they are combined with others from her extensive library: 3D models based on her own clay sculptures, works of imagination digitally sculpted, and artworks encountered in museums. The works draw heavily from Hellenistic art, not only through the appropriation of forms but also using its ethos of syncretism as a way of working.
Cyclops is a misunderstood villain of mythology. I envision them as a beautiful monster, a power figure. Here they stand regal, carved from yellow stone, atop a symbolically presented ancient temple made from moss patina'd mud from their home island. View this in AR on mobile.
