‘ In the passage of time’ is wall construction, comprising of 31 forms. The overall area is h 90 x w 138 cm, however this can be adjusted to suit different locations as an installation. The 31 forms vary in size from the largest h 9.0 x w 7.5 x d 2.0 cm to the smallest h 7.0 x w 6.0 x d 2.0 cm. The forms are 3D prints in PA2200 white nylon and the thickness is 0.5mm. This construction was made in my studio on the wall under north facing roof windows, so the natural light was perfect for the conditions I wanted to work with. The old surface of the wall which has been painted over many times, provides an interesting surface in relationship to the detail of the carefully shaped forms. Each form is hollow and the white nylon has a surface quality almost like watercolour paper. The thin white walls of each form create a luminosity according to the quality of the natural light. The subtle changes of shadows and light are essential expressive aspects of this work. These elements imply a fleeting sense of time and quietness amongst the noise and complexity of our lives.
