MATTER DRAWINGS, MOTORISED SCULPTURE WITH IRON FILINGS AND MAGNET, 1999 asbestos base (7 x 3.5 feet X 5 inches h), concealed motors and magnet, bed of iron filings. Detail of work 'engaging the NOWHERE', BRITISH COUNCIL GALLERY, MUMBAI, 1999 |
Matter Drawings 1 Matter drawings is a work in which an apparently unmoving bed of matter (iron filings) shows slow, silent and continuous movement in a pattern, if observed carefully. This is done by the help of a concealed system of motors and magnets. I attempted to address the concept of movement in seemingly inert/lifeless objects around us. A respect for such systems of awareness and evolution underlies the work. |
