Workshop

Background Information about Gordon Cain

The works depicts hypothetical spatial scenarios or cultural event spaces, suggesting evidence of an unspecified labour. The imagined events may occur within the city or be located in peripheral and transitional spaces. In being uninhabited, unoccupied, these locations may be seen to be awaiting the return of their inhabitants.

The work is produced using 3D modelling software. All such applications rely on single viewpoint Renaissance perspective. 

As has often been noted however, perspective does not actually represent how we see and visually interact with the world. They come closer to Indian, Japanese and Chinese depictions of space, in which the observer is everywhere and nowhere.
