The Juggler is one of a series of sculptures made directly in Lowe's studio from numerous laser cut sheets of aluminium. The sheets are pre cut with curved silhouettes and inner openings from computer drawings which when transferred to aluminium, become the ‘raw material’ to work with. The sculptures are formed gradually by curving, joining and bringing to life.
Rather than making just to realise an idea, the sculptures are discovered through working which allows all visual experiences, surprises and even accidents to be considered.
Juggler has a strong sense of inside and outside and uses two colours to emphasise this. The curvilinear forms and large openings combine space and solid to complete the form and encourage an exploration of the sculpture through the layers and from all views.
