Crate Expectations (2018)

Patrick Hughes - Series 1

Crate Expectations is made in reverspective, also the overall image is in reverspective. When the painting is hanging on the wall it appears to go away towards infinity, as well as turning and twisting as the reverspective structure is viewed by a moving observer or video camera. The various things depicted, the lifebelts, moon, apple, rainbows, sun, polyhedron, and beach ball can be seen in an array of crates. These wooden crates are useful imagery in my art because they are so readily susceptible to perspective, and particularly to the vivid movement coming from reverspective.
