Act vs Object

I took part in the exhibition Act vs Object at the Holy Trinity Church in Leeds. This was a great opportunity for me to test processeses created through the use of monofilament. There was great potential to use this material for binding architectural forms to the intereior of the church.

Binding these pillars together became a collaborative project. The creation of this part of the work highlighted the importance of physical interaction and the fulfilment of working together; something not experienced within the the digital world!

Handmade doweling knitting needles containing a length of knitted monofilament were placed upon a chair leading from the bound pillars. There were many connotations generated by the placing of this part of the piece; who once sat in the chair, the past, traditional craft. By positioning spot lights that directly shone on and through the work it enhanced not only the materiality of the monofilament itself but the space it inhabited.
