Gray Matter III is crafted from bronze and gold, with a mysterious fire coming from inside the cyclops' eye. The work exists virtually within a touchscreen digital environment as well as a physical bronze sculpture treated with green patina and burnished bronze. Harvey affirms the relevance of digital matter in contemporary sculpture by retracing its historical references, such as the echoing of Auguste Rodin's marcottage, the practice of recombining and reusing different elements of previous works for the formulation of new ones.
Harvey's Gray Matter series presents five iterations of the same sculptural theme in different patina applications.
