Alison Berry & Sonia Griffin:
Using the works by Ruth Payne and Val Bolsover as a starting point, it has been a challenge to develop ideas that incorporate both as they are so different in visual appearance and in concept.
Concentrating on manipulating their physical shape we have focused on two structures shown: a tower shape derived from Ruth’s work and wave-like signals from Val’s work. Parallels between the tower structure and historical architectural examples in literature such as the Bible have been pursued. Combined with the wave-like signals the theme of communication has become dominant in our new collaborative piece. Beginning with paper’s fundamental role as a medium for communication we have explored the explosion in contemporary communciation and posed questions about this.
