The Mystery v5-dv3 (axis mundi)


Auriea Harvey
'The Mystery v5' (2022)
3D model in HTML environment, AR
Dimensions variable
Edition: 1 + 1AP
Digital version 3 (axis mudni)

Auriea Harvey begins her sculptural process by creating forms—the concept, shape, and material data—that serve as a 3D model from which many works are made. The Mystery v5 (tower) and Auriea’s digital component, The Mystery v5-dv3 (axis mundi), share the same form, referencing baroque memento mori iconography that is intertwined with scans of the artist’s own face. The Mystery v5 (tower) allowed Auriea to explore the physicality of recurrent figures through repetition and scale. The addition of clay and pigment in two colors acts as a decorative embellishment to the 3D printed structure. A mirrored pedestal sits beneath the sculpture, like a serving platter beneath a towering dessert. The Mystery v5-dv3 (axis mundi) is a candy-colored exaggeration, reflected in glossy virtual moonlight. This work is to be experienced interactively, on a desktop with a mouse or on a touch screen in augmented reality.
