David Schwarz’s Z-Axis series represents the creation of the illusion of space, with the intent that the viewer explores both the exterior and interior of the artist’s world. The effect should be that of weightlessness. The artist’s hope is that the viewer falls into the work as if moving through the interior of an illusionary space. This blue, ovoid, faceted, form has abstract, geometric, decoration resembling architectural elements floating in space.
