Installation for Performance "Gardening" (Elastic work 2) |
||||||
This work is a research project in collaboration with my artscience colleague Lyndsey Housden since December 2008. We research flexible materials which create the certain structure in a moment and the structure itself transfers by humans action or even by small change of the space condition. That causes organic structures sentimentally. When we worked with many different kinds of fabrics, we found the potential of simple elastics. The lines of elastics fill the space and the stretch extent the occupation of space. In addition, by connecting the elastics, the structure extent the scale more and more in the space. Although the whole structure is released in one moment because of linear connection of the elastics. Through this research, creating sceneries of sentient structures by pure materials, we found in those activities of making momental structure by elastics, there is similar idea to psychological "gardening".
