Chapter 7:
TITLE: Visits to the fourth dimension.
YEAR: 2018.
​
​
Chris Dalvean is an object maker and installation artist whose practice caters to all spatial proportions. Using self-contained boxed environments Dalvean is constantly evolving his art practice to flow from experimentation to materiality progression with a focus on testing the dimensional limitations of spatial zones, i.e., the area which surrounds and includes the sculptured piece.
​
Until recently Dalvean had been working on new and varied interpretations of multi-dimensional art. This included some time working in the 4th dimension which was unfortunately short lived due to space limitations. He tried putting it in in the kitchen; although it fit through both doors and window simultaneously it couldn’t stay there as it stopped the dishwasher door from opening. As this is a problem counter to the abstract unification of time and space as a four-dimensional continuum Dalvean is currently in talks with the supplier for a full refund. And yes, he read the manual.
