In these forms of the Copper WIRE SCULPTURES
the most important aspect is the empty space within, the wish to make visible the emptiness, the “NOT-being”, nothingness.
In the hanging forms the layering adds another aspect.
The changing density and intensity of the optical impression is a reference to the energetic make up of a human body.
I have been experimenting with wire since I discovered those soft wires in yellow, red and silver metal in a hardware shop in Pune’s Old City in 2003.
First I tried knitting which turned out to be really difficult, then and till now I use crocheting and the newest and most successful technique seems to be a kind
of weaving that gives enough stability to carry the weight of taller structures. Since lighting is added with which the copper is sparkling, they become as lighted
objects very attractive. |
