Hi everyone, it's my first time posting on here so, nice to meet you all, and bear with me!

Here are some photographs of a very early sculptural work in progress. Really all I have here at the moment is a basic idea and model I knocked up this afternoon and a few photographs. But in one way or another I have been exploring the shape and the idea behind the sculpture for quite a few years.

I guess feedback wise i'm really interested what you people think of the form, it's placement in water, the reflections, anything aesthetic really… and if you're interested in my thought process behind the concept, feedback on that would also be welcome:

- the idea is the meeting of opposites. A Möbius strip, if you're not already aware, is a one-sided shape made from a strip of anything (in this case wood) with a half-twist then the ends joined together. So instead of thinking in terms of this OR that, light OR dark, good OR bad, it's more a case of thinking on a whole different level where the two opposites are present but maybe we don't identify so strongly with them?? I am interested also in non-binary gender identity and androgyny and wonder how this ties in with the concept.

But enough of my waffle for now, any thoughts at all would be really appreciated, both negative and positive! Thnx, Rob.

The second and last pics I am particularly pleased with as the sculpture and its reflection make an infinity symbol. Sorry for the crappy model and pond scum, work in progress! Pic #3 shows the full Möbius strip out of the water to give you an idea of what it looks like.

Hi

I only just joined but = yes I do like the work , I can see a fit with androgyny in that one part or identity, aspect perhaps is shown, exposed out of the water. The way the changing light and reflection plays upon and alters the shape adds much.
