This exegesis is an
attempt to explore how the quantum theory of the observer effect and quantum
mechanical models of reality (for example wave/particle duality) can be used as
inspiration for the construction of sculpture. After briefly summarizing the
observer effect and quantum physics, I discuss how artists have been influenced
by science, in particular quantum physics to create work which challenge our
view of the world. I look at how the act of perception is a subjective
experience and go on to discuss my own experiments in sculpture, using the
concept of the observer effect as a conceptual paradigm.
