This is “Threshold”. A part of my latest collection Vertical Studies.
With this work I followed the material. I always do, but this time there was something different. A pull toward the centre emerged. Almost like a void. I strengthened it. Let it become what it wanted to be.
When it came to naming it I kept returning to that centre. Not the colour. Not the texture. That feeling.
Threshold. In science and mathematics it refers to the exact point at which something begins to happen. The moment a reaction is triggered. Where one state tips into another.
That is what this work is for me.
The point where the noise tips into silence. Where a mind that never stops finally does. I walk into the studio carrying everything. Unprocessed thoughts. A brain that won’t rest.
And somewhere in the making something tips.
I come out empty. Blank. In the best possible way.
