Bathing Woman-Swaying 2.6m

‘Bathing Woman Swaying’
Changing states, solid becomes liquid, mass becomes weightless. ‘Bathing Woman – Swaying’ is
a reflection of all these elements, hard weighted stainless steel is transformed; the figure becomes
almost weightless and flowing.

Hugh McLachlan

My sculpture is a response to changing states, where the sculpture, through the illusion of a highly polished surface, appears to flow, when in reality it is very hard stainless steel. The polished surface of the figure also wears the environment as a second skin, reflecting all the changes of light and sky in a dynamic way; nothing remains static.

The sculptures are a transformation – solid becomes liquid, static begins to flow. Flowing from one state to another, what is the reality? In a quantum physics world both states coexist in parallel realities.
