Puzzletheque, 2012 (Adaptation V)
Hand cut vinyl, hand painted pvc, steel
Dimensions variable
Adapted specifically for the Bundoora Homestead Art Centre, Puzzlethèque is an installation that resonates with the mechanics of stuff and creates a space where vision and movement are linked by means of the body. Using repetition and materials that have an inherent ability to create movement, this work is an ongoing spatial experiment where fundamental elements such as line, form and space intertwine. On encountering Puzzlethèque, the viewer becomes the orchestrator of these elements. They are invited to play. It is this movement and interaction that determines how the elements of the work potentially fit together as a spatial whole. Here, surface merges with structure, interiors conflate to exteriors and forms appear then disperse. Puzzlethèque creates an environment which is movable and in flux, inciting the viewer to question how the forms around them are constructed and how they will reorient their positions relative to the space.
