Electrical cables, nickel, steel, cement.
I am interested in organic visual complexity as a result of simple repetition. What I create through 1000s of hours of re-tangling cables is similar to the visual effects found in nature, including fractals. For example, when you look at a large vista of the Australian bush, it is infinitely different yet at once all the same.
Eclipse is can be seen as a lens through which to imagine our digital and environmental futures. A place where the handmade has inherent value and time is a commodity.
The circle, as a shape, is felt to symbolise so many things across cultures: Planets, orbits, circle of life, a lens, karma and so on. The cables represent so much too: Power, waste, excess, progress, digital transformation, wifi etc and the tangle technique creates an intriguing form that is stuck, immovable, unsolvable and inflexible.
I’ll stop there for the time being….
