Arch Form
Jesmonite, pigment, stainless steel, paint
50x8x120cm
Drawing from the form of a mechanical engineering model, a jesmonite cog rolls its way along a miniature topographic landscape of the grand canyon. Giving material form to the negative space above the canyon, the imaginary landscape of the wheel interlocks with the landscape, providing a moving visual echo of the undulating ravine.
The title Arch Form is borrowed from the musical term denoting a sectional structure for a piece of music based on repetition, in reverse order. Creating symmetry around a central movement, the arch form engenders an interplay of memory and progression.
