FEELING MATERIAL, 2003 - 2008
The FEELING MATERIAL works started with an attempt to describe the space of the body using a matrix formed of rings.
I then realised that I could create this like a drawing; an unending spiralling line that span a web around the body, orbiting close to the skin and then spiralling out into space: an energy zone.
I now try to use the least material necessary to delineate a suspended open matrix.
