About this artwork
"Hat Trick" plays with the idea of weight versus weightlessness, and different dimensions 2D - 3D, in the spirit of a magic trick. A multi-dimensional 'clapper' opens (or closes, depending on how you look at it) revealing a curious, hand-like shape - below the 'clapper' an identical hand-like shape appears, dangling in the air. The whole pivets on an off-kilter pendulum shape barely holding on to it's position. The whole sculpture looks rather precarious…
and about to fall apart, but is actually quite solid.

« My goals in art-making are exploring the nature of who I am, and my relationship to the world. »
At age nine, American painter and sculptor David Sheldon was hospital bound after a major operation and was given his first oil-painting kit- he hasn't stopped making art since. The theme of Sheldon's sculpture work revolves around the question, "Who am I, and what is my relationship to the Infinite?" Regarding his paintings, Sheldon works intuitively, and likes to constantly question his methods. Sheldon't futuristic steel sculptures and abstract expressionist oil paintings are fluid, bright, and intriguing.
