we never thought we had enough of what. shard bound by some dirty order.

The shard/ crystal/ beam of pure ideas, and beginning.

This polycarbonate crystal symbolizes the threads of life all bound in some controlled order. The shard exists in a space as beacon or focus out of the darkness. The crystal moves along a path with seemingly profound sounds of tension and stress. The sounds are generated from the rubbing forces of the polycarbonate between the base and the weight of the crystal.  Deep earth like tones set a mood of time and strength.

         The shard/crystal  that moves overtop the mechanics begin a dialogue between the lights beneath, (pattern of LEDs, determined set of ordered inscription patterning brail) in order to relay information up through the laminated bars of polycarbonate. The shard becomes a shifting gold and pure white color, a symbol of progress …something yet to be revealed. 

The motor symbolizes time.

Brail has been used here as a visual element carrying the title represented by the projecting pattern of light.

 “ We never thought we had enough of what…” This projected inscription penetrates through a polyester gold film feather. ( feather of flight ) As the light passes through the gold film, it picks up the color in which becomes projected upwards and within the crystal.

 

         The vulnerable gold color that bleeds through, acts as a symbol of the bloodline in which the feather grows.  A feather is first formed as a tube of keratin  engorged with blood : the pure blood of a child / growth.  This bloodline/path acts as an overall motif, between what is understood through control and what exists instinctively.
