Telescopium

By Jill Townsley 2009

Dimensions
2.5m x 2.5m x 3m

Telescopium is made from looping fishing line to form a giant spiral that hangs from a hole cut in a false ceiling. The work is lit by one light placed inside the ceiling. The end of the spiral is resting on a piece of black perspex that reflects the work forming an endless spiral.
