| The nature of construction
and set-up, of the work is temporary in a theatrical sense. It develops
to the 'object' being used as a prop might be. The placement and scale
bring to attention the involvement of the site, the architecture,
and the person negotiating the work. The mass of the sculpture is
created from compressed 2D materials into a volume. The light spreads
to fill the mass, creating solidity. Any leaking light spreads to
the walls bringing them into the situation. The deflection of light
inside the internal space, keeps the electrical light circulating,
contained. Oversized, the work does not use light for dramatic effect,
but as another material in balance. The industrial scale of the materials
is transformative of their DIY shop origins. Their non-art state hints
at other fields of production, design and waste. The collaboration
of paper and chicken wire result in evidence of the making imposed
on the piece. Scratches, floor dirt, and grease easily mess the exterior.
The impermanence implies the permanent condition of the surrounding
building and light structures, which will endure longer than the work.
This time-limited wrapped space hints at future occupiers of these
architecturally defined areas. [Visible image] 'Full Strip Light' Wallpaper, Chicken Wire, Strip Light 2m x 1.5m x 1.5m [Rollover image] 'House Lamp' Lamp stand, Chicken Wire, Wallpaper, Wire, Metal Table 1.3m x 1.3m x 2m |
