SCULPTURES

‘When Are We Looking At?’

(Bumble Bee, Space, and Future)- September 2022

Originally meant to be a painting, this sculpture depicts the story of a Bumble Bee and a Human navigating space exploration together in the future.

18 Hexagons have been carefully stacked in a spiraled array, with their angular separation increasing by 5 degrees after every 3 slices. Creating an upward, yet cyclical journey into the future. These hexagons represent the units of time, and mark our ever growing leaps in technology and the way we interact with the universe.

18 Hexagons have been used to represent the 18 Hexagon Mirrors that make up the James Webb Telescope; the largest Optical Telescope out in space that can detect infrared signals emitted approx. 13 billion years ago.

Peering out in the edge of the tower, the human is is looking outwards to meet our attention; is the human in this sculpture looking at us from the past or the future, or from all alternative universe: Leading the Bumble Bee and Human to question: “When Are We Looking At?”

‘Swarm’

(Cloud, Iridescent , and Sundazed)- Apr/May/July 2022

Iridescence is Darcelle’s favorite quality of matter. It's a phenomenon that allows our perception of the color of an object to change depending on our angle of view and the angle of light.

Clouds, are Darcelle’s favorite characteristic of the outdoors.

The backstory is that water droplets congregate around small dust particles in the air in the genesis of clouds. Carefully crafted into the different types personalities you can get in the formation of clouds, the iridescent balls in the sculptures are the dust particles that are at the beginning of greatest display of atmospheric water.

Our sun is quite important: is gives us the bliss of warmth, it gives us clouds, and it is the light source that enables the iridescence of matter to be radiantly mesmerizing.
