After some major MacBook clearup I rediscovered these old images of a low key installation I did on the beach of mirror displacements.
They were completed with a numer of mirrors aligned around the place, bouncing light off each other to create intriguing walkways in the mirror’s void spaces.
The title is obviously a nod to Robert Smithson.
This piece Warp was completed after a request to show my Octonion piece.
Unfortunately my Octonion piece does not exist any more and so I was led to make this, an evolution of the old concepts into something more fitting with my current concerns about the transitory; something that Octonion never quite had.
I am fascinated by geometric abstract forms that act as all encompassing statements. The problem however lies in that these are often utopian fictions that deny reality as much as they try to make sense of it. The problem, I believe, is one of balance. The key is to find a dialogue between order and chaos, without falling into utopian fallacy. We need order – but we also need the anarchic. A touch of imperfection makes a transient thing of purity and genius. It is this that I constantly search for.
