Installation











Through collecting, a dense immersive environment is generated.

With the addition of an energetic fluid-based system and controlled chemical reactions, a micro-ecology is created.

Installation











The archive is a machine-for-remembering. It is a chemical computer. The archive collects and records air particles in crystalline structures.

Movement through Installation



These images of steel wire forms investigate movement of the viewer through and around the installation. They also intend to suggest the growth of crystalline structure over time.

Site Diorama







Constructing a diorama of the architectural 'event', the accretion of crystals, underpinned by the thermodynamic system.

The diorama was photographed on-site, with the intent of achieving an analogue method of superimposition of the model on site.

This exercise was a stepping stone to moving the diorama to the 'non-site' space of the gallery (reference Richard Smithson).

Particle Drawings




Drawing is used to analyse and dissect particles. The particles are from canal water samples, photographed by Angela Hay under a microscope in her lab. After careful analysis, I concluded that the particles were most likely dust from the Icelandic volcano eruption in October 2009.

The archive collects and records atmospheric events.
