Curve

Polyester ribbon is arranged on the wall using small sticky tabs. This work emphasized the curves and flow of the ribbon. From the front reflected light, shadow and daylight all appeared behind the ribbon. This together with blurring and focusing problems, gave the work a strange spookiness. From the side the work has an illusion such that you could not tell if it was curving off the wall to the front or curving against the wall to the side.
