SIGHS

Stipple engraving by James Denison-Pender on two sheets of optical crystal, each engraved on both sides, mounted in an aluminium frame on a stainless steel base.
Height 25cm, width 12cm, depth 2cm.

This piece explores the three dimensional effect of engraving on two sides of two 5mm optical crystal sheets, and mounting them one behind the other, separated by a 5mm gap. The title refers to the Bridge of Sighs in Cambridge, and to the feelings of the young student on realising that, while the girl has his attention, he does not have hers.
