Much of my work to date has dealt with exploring notions of materiality, of permanence and of the perception of objects in space. Using light as a sculptural medium, my work is innately ephemeral. It begins as a set of strict mathematical procedures that are played out within an environment. The space simultaneously shapes the work and becomes manipulated by it.

Through negating material properties, my current practice seeks a mode of fragility. It rests on the edge between a sculptural form and an environmental effect of light within a space; a context from which the work is inseparable. Such pieces utilise both ambient and artificial light, channeling it and molding it into sculptural works that completely divorce themselves from static material: sculptures without mass and forms without structures.

Ogle creates sculptural work which takes the fundamental properties of drawing, with a focus on flatness and line, and transfers them into new spatial situations. Engaged in an ongoing experiment with a strict set of materials including fishing wire and ultraviolet light, Ogle intersects space with lines and forms that optically flatten an environment. Ogle lives and works in Cheshire.

The immediacy and linear quality of drawing naturally lends itself to my way of working. A pulse of movement is captured across a surface, with viewers becoming implicated in the work’s time-based process by visually tracing the forms progression from beginning to end. This build up of a constant form often affords my work illusionary three dimensional qualities, with geometric shapes multiplying to create optical depth across a flat plane.

Growing out of this, my sculptural work aims to take the fundamental properties of drawing (with a focus on flatness and line) and transfer these into new spatial situations. Physical spaces are intersected by lines and forms that optically flatten an environment, each step the viewer takes offering a new perspective on extruding entities that seem to discard any kind of three dimensional physicality.
