Shadow Art 1

Recently there is a lot of people/artist are getting into shadow art that are so amazing. This topic I going to talk about are how those people/artist using rubbish to create image by using the light with various material.

When they created the sculpture using various material, you wouldn't able to figure what object is it. Until the light are shine to the sculpture, you can see the shadow image of the object.

Here are some picture that I wanted to share with everyone.
This shadow artwork were did by Timothy "Tim" Noble and Susan "Sue" Webster (tim noble and sue webster), are two British artists who work as a collaborative duo, and are associated with the post-YBA generation of artists.
