Having cleared the 5mX5m floor space, I’ve made room for the 9m wire mesh roll to dictate what happens next. It’s a combination of careful balancing & weighing the inherent tension within the wire mesh coil & unfurling it into the space. attempting to cover as much of the floor as it will allow. It develops into a game between myself & the material: unwinding, then snapping shut, uncurling into unanticipated shapes, before curling up again. My intention is not to impose a given shape onto the sculpture, or to use any more than the original materials available; 3 nails across the walls, the floor, the walls. I allow the wire mesh to settle with gravity & use its own spring tension
