Stratified Forms are a type of sculpture constructed from a series of discrete layers, or strata. In this technique, no single plane contains the complete three-dimensional form; rather, the form emerges as an optical and cognitive synthesis of the assembled parts. The spaces between the layers are as critical as the material itself, contributing to the perception of volume, depth, and shape. This method relies on the viewer's brain to complete the object, creating a whole that is perceptually greater than the sum of its parts. The approach has significant philosophical implications, exploring how complex realities are constructed from simpler, fragmented information. It suggests that meaning and identity are not inherent or fixed properties, but emergent phenomena that arise from the relationship between components. As the viewer moves around a stratified work, their changing perspective actively participates in the assembly of the form, demonstrating how coherence can arise from disconnected elements. This process transforms the passive viewer into an active participant in the creation of meaning. This technique draws on the visual language of geology and modern scientific imaging, such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), where a solid body is understood by revealing its internal structure through successive cross-sections. Each stratum functions as both an individual fragment and a constituent of a larger system. This method suggests that reality is not always encountered as a unified, immediate surface, but as something to be built up, revealed, and understood through depth and the careful examination of its constituent layers.
