The Unanswered Question by Auriea Harvey

Auriea Harveys practice exists in and between the real and virtual and *The Unanswered Question* situates both realms of existence on the same plane not as simulacrum, but as a suspension of disbelief. Scale plays an important role within the collapse of real and virtual as the artist manifests her digital compositions as an expansive scrollable landscape. Each work is a collage of polygonal models, derived from 3D scans and arranged into scenes using kitbashing, a technique from the practice of model-making that forms all parts into a whole and celebrates the simple lighting and highlights of each figures digital nature. This process offers the artist the opportunity to interject her personal sculptures into classical narratives.

Layered amongst *The Sacrifice* are scans of the outside walls of Romes Ara Pacis Augustae and a sacrificial bull from the Parthenon marbles alongside her digital sculptures *Minomirror (canceled)* and *The Mystery v3*.
