Sydney Cash

Sydney Cash explores the optical nature of pattern and movement through painting, sculpture and installation. In his works, Cash investigates philosophical and psychological questions, such as the relationship between the work and the viewer and between the work and its environment, while changing the boundaries between image and object.

Light plays a key role in his sculptures and installations. Integrating glass and mirrors, the artist manipulates light as a physical material, transforming it into complex images composed of reflections, refractions and shadows. His kinetic sculptures created in the 1980's and 1990's are constructed by overlaying ribbed industrial glass on top of paper printed with various patterns. The vibrating movements, together with the blending of colors created by these patterns, become optically kinetic as they are revealed in relation to the viewers movement, thus making each projected experience unique to the individual.
