 is a vast open matrix spanning the roof terrace of the National Gallery Singapore, made from rings or ‘orbits’ of metal, acting as a continually mutating spatial frame as you walk through it.

The paradox of the horizon is that it is the perceptual limit of our consciousness that moves with us and yet, in the non-locality of the quantum world where neither here or now (the constants by which we experience life) are present, we become the reflexive part of a de-centred, unfolding world.

There's a bit of dance here, the circles could be hula hoops; it invites you to become aware of your more animal nature, to feel it... Walter Pater said that all art constantly aspires towards the condition of music – so it is something that exists outside of you, but also inside you, and in a way, possesses you. Horizon Field Singapore doesn't have anything to show, it doesn't have anything to tell. It is an invitation to feel your own life through the context that it gives you.
