Stack Column, Triangular

2015

Stack Column, Triangular rises nearly eight feet from floor to ceiling as a precisely engineered tower of laminated acrylic plastic, its triangular cross-section catching and refracting light in ways that shift dramatically with the viewer's position and the ambient conditions of any given room. Zammitt constructs these columns by stacking hundreds of hand-cut acrylic layers in carefully sequenced color gradations, a process that transforms an industrial material into something that reads almost as luminous, solid light. The triangular form here introduces directional tension absent from the artist's circular column works, presenting three distinct faces that each carry their own chromatic character while remaining inseparable from the whole. Eric Zammitt, based in Los Angeles, has developed a singular practice centered on this labor-intensive lamination technique, and the resulting sculptures occupy a compelling space between Minimalist geometry and Op Art's preoccupation with perceptual instability. The work is supported by a steel and aluminum armature that keeps the column upright without interrupting the visual integrity of the acrylic stack, demonstrating the care Zammitt brings to both conceptual and structural decisions. At 235 centimeters tall, the piece commands significant presence in a domestic or institutional setting, functioning as an ambient focal point that changes appearance throughout the day as natural and artificial light sources shift. This signed work originates from Los Angeles and represents a strong opportunity to acquire a substantial sculptural statement from an artist whose process-driven practice has earned sustained critical attention. Prospective buyers should note that shipping arrangements and associated costs are the responsibility of the buyer. The piece does not include framing, as its freestanding format requires no such intervention.
