Encore (1976)
(Sculpture in wood, 1976 - 50 x 50 x 30 cm)
From one angle, the sculpture depicts a pianist. But if you turn it by 90 degrees you will see a violinist. The third photo shows an intermediate point of view, where you can see how the pianist transforms into the violinist. This wooden sculpture consists of two silhouettes (the pianist and the violinist) at 90° angles to each other.
2. Tim Noble and Sue Webster 
Tim Noble (b.1966) and Sue Webster (b.1967) met while on a Fine Art course at Nottingham’s Trent Polytechnic are most notable for in the silhouettes cast from their rubbish heap works. Noble and Webster’s first attention grabber came in 1994 when their work Hijack was fly-postered around London, New York and Berlin. In this work the couple replaced the faces of well-known art duo Gilbert and George with their own, adding the text: "Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Simple Solution". They were using the advertising medium and slogans to announce the arrival of a younger and equally visually arresting art couple.
