Field of Vision pt2

Alongside the large relief in gallery 2 the exhibition continues in gallery 1 with 5 stainless steel mesh sculptures. The notion of field can be interpreted as literally a vast plain, as a subject of enquiry or occupation, a theory of bodies in space, or a mathematical equation. Visual and physical phenomenon are my primary fields of occupation. These new wire works are the evidence of my experience and experimentation within that field. Experience influences structure, structure influences form, material influences structure, the environment influences appearance...etc. Continuing with the notion of architectural scale, these works relate to the human body (a dimension of architecture), the scale of the works and space they occupy heightening awareness of the viewers scale in relation to the work and that of the architecture in which they are housed. They are almost inhabitable but inaccessible due to their closed structure. all works are 2009

I just found your blog Lincoln and looked at quite a bit of your work. It is stunning! I imagine it would be wonderful to actually see and walk around. However these images are fabulous.

There is something etherial and poetic about them despite their size and construction and materials.

A newcomer to blogging... it is brilliant to discover the ideas and talent in this region let alone further afield.Can I possibly do a post on your work?

Thanks for the inspiration!
