Work
A floatng installation made of buoys supporting marine lanterns that
display bright ights. The lights change colour to represent a system
of cells from inside the human body. The R&D for the form of this
art work was conducted by a large collaborative group, as part of an
Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Arts
and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) grant as part of the Design for
the 21st Century scheme. See www.interdisciplinary.co.uk.
Big
Plastic Tree
To make a life size simulated English oak tree, cut from 3D Data of
a fractal tree developed via programming. A tree made from this data
life size out of luminous plastic that glows in the dark. In the daytime
it is a subtle object, clearly 'modelled' and geometric. At night it
is more magical and suprising as it glows. Over time the glow fades
until it is again a plain plastic colour by dawn.
Maquettes were made
(2003-2004) as part of a Leverhulme Artist in Residence programme at
Bath University, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Biomimetics.
With additional support from The Arts and Humanities Research Board
(Small Grant in the Creative and Performing Arts).
