Erin Shirreff’s Maquette (split circle) is an intricate bronze sculpture composed from a sequence of thin, angled planes and curves and the shadows they are imagined to cast. The sand-cast—a to-scale, one-to-one casting process—carries the tactile qualities of Shirreff’s studio materials: the hand-cut foamcore now rendered in metal with a rich black patina. Inspired by the artist’s documentation of mid-century large-scale graphic abstract sculpture, Maquette (split circle) suggests an impression of incompletion and unknowability, gesturing towards a separate, discrete rendering of form and dimensionality.
