We live in a three-dimensional world. Everything we can see or touch can be measured by length, width and depth (height). I am looking for art works that are three-dimensional and that are representations of three-dimensional on a two-dimensional medium. The following media will be considered for acceptance: sculpture, mixed media, pottery, jewelry, mosaic, photography, painting, drawing, assemblage and glass.
