The Andy Vible Object Sculptures project refers to everyday objects made to look like human figures, but with an object for a head. The "people" in this series are posed in a way that draws attention to their construction. For example, the man whose head consists of a speaker is talking into a microphone.
The Andy Vible Object Sculptures series creates a conundrum, which Andy refers to as a "self-referencing loop," according to his site. The objects are stuck in a figurative space where they cannot escape what they are meant to be used for. Disorienting, and very thought-provoking, Vible strives to make these objects more familiar to his audience, but also asks the question of what came first "the chicken or the egg?"
