Conrad Shawcross’ Monolith (Optic) at New Art Centre, Roche Court

Monolith (Optic), 2016, is currently on view in the Sculpture Park at Roche Court, near Salisbury, Wiltshire. 

A synthesis of engineering and optical research that draws on subjects including maritime camouflage, Cubism and Op Art, the work appears to change endlessly according to shifting light conditions. . 

"In some ways it’s a monument to disappearance." – Conrad Shawcross
