- Title
Stereoscopic Synergy: Twin-Relief Sculpture and Painting.
- Authors
Biegon, Glenn
- Abstract
Two accelerated-relief sculptures depicting the same scene from slightly different viewpoints can serve as sculpted stereoscopic half-images—or "twin-reliefs." Unlike traditional relief sculpture, which compresses sculptural space, twin-reliefs expand it, creating lifelike illusionistic depths. Viewed binocularly in a large Wheatstone stereoscope, the twin-relief's virtual world appears colorful, atmospheric and lifesize—even infinitely deep. Furthermore, unlike flat-picture stereoscopy, which allows just one undistorted, perspectively robust view, twin-reliefs provide infinitely many such views because, being sculptural, they "adapt" to the observer's movement. Twin-reliefs synergistically combine essential physical attributes previously separated between the domains of painting, sculpture and traditional flat-picture stereoscopy.
