The first time I entered this space, I was intrigued by the mass of exposed cords, cables, wires and pipes. I followed many of these lines with my eye and found that most of the wires and cables were disconnected or unplugged. They were hanging there tangled and abandoned though visually their attractiveness engrossed me.
In response I have created my own lines – out of discarded maintenance materials and paint. The materials used in my installation speak about the space’s history of being transformed into something new so many times over. The work mimics the existing wiring and cords, though without the option for functionality. I have co-opted the form of these functional objects and transformed their purpose into an aesthetic experience.
