OUR SPACE

---

Our Space is the first installation I have made and explores the role of vision in connecting us to our surroundings. Across the animal kingdom there are a variety of eyes to be found from the size of baseballs to those the size of a pine nut. Although many species have access to light as a part of their sensory toolkit it is still disputed among scientists as to whether all species capable of detecting lights presence from absence are able to truly able to see to full extent of the verb. Asking the question is clarity more informative than sensitivity?

Catalysed by a steady stream of water droplets descending into the center of a large water dish below ripples a series of elliptical ripples are cast onto the wall by a spotlight towards the back of the room. As these ellipse’ gently radiate outwards, reverberating within the confines of the dish, the viewers beody becomes subject to the environment, grounded in the space and in communication with the rhythm of the space’ simple mechanics.
