Rhythm and sequence

An ongoing theme has always been about connecting the temporal coastal rhythms of the sky and sea and creating a more intimate dialogue with the land, as with my string models that tried to distill these elements.


I added a grid to the drawing the above to suggest an exposure of the land due to natural forces manipulating the land.

Actually the my string drawings are about rhythms and sequences - thet actually remind me of Bridget Rileys work:



Riley's work relates to the temporal nature of the site, however they are too regular. The rhythms need to be broken and fragmented to express the ephemeral.  The rhythm captured on my site should be more sequential, more cinematic in the Tschumi sense. 

Demarcation to catch the rhythms, frame the temporal. Amplifiers of space and programs like the follies at PdlV.  In the sketch above the points 'snag' the landscape net, creating scene and changing perceptions of the space.

Hope poles in Kent as sculpture in the winter.



With a layer of snow - love these images!


Smithson would have loved the piles at this Dam construction site - remarkable similarity to Tschumi's superimposition. Demarcation of the land a device to organise space should explored. Not boundary, just indicators that are open to interpretation and continuous reprogramming.
