Statement “the reality assumption” is a sculpture composed of acid etched steel, wood and painted cement. The sculpture references the dichotomous world of fact and belief. The wooden framed windows within the rock-like, fabricated steel sculpture represent an individual’s view into the world. The view is blocked by painted cement that fills the window and prevents an actual account of reality. The black, painted views on the cement are of grass and cityscape, two opposite realities. The etched areas are eroded with hand written text. The works “blind” and “faith” repeatedly appear on separate sides of the sculpture in order to mimic the wooden frames. The two words become evident as the viewer steps closer. In the end, this sculpture is designed to encourage the individual to question what is fact and what is fiction within the social and physical world. Chris Wubbena 573-243-3229
