Brit Bunkley, Paradox of Plenty (2011), Video
Paradox of Plenty is an exhibition that explores the intersection of virtual and physical sculpture, and the juncture of animation and captured video. Featuring three video works, Paradox of Plenty (Futurology), Up River Blues, and Blood Angel, and three resin sculptures, the exhibition focusses on a sense of paranoia and apocalyptic anxiety, tempered with humour, whimsy and irony.
Brit Bunkley is a Wanganui-based artist whose current art practice includes public art, sculpture, installation, and photography. Bunkley creates 'impossible' images and architecture using computer 3D modelling, video and image editing programmes. Bunkley has exhibited extensively around the world. Over the past 10 years he has created many works of sculpture using 'rapid prototyping' techniques, in which 3D digital files are sent to a variety of specialised 3D printing machines to create physical objects from digital designs.
