​Pathways of light

​

‘Pathways of light’ is an installation work exhibited at Granary Square, 14 - 22 June 2022. Inspired by mathematics, it explores non linear phenomenon in which cracks suddenly widen and cause seismic shifts. 
It is made with eggshell retrieve from waste, mirror sheets that were heading to landfill and clay that is filled with impurities and unfit for making ceramics. I did not try to repair the cracks/ fault lines in the old mirrored sheets. 


Instead the cracks are the artwork, and have been highlighted as entry points for light to shine through.


Cracks, when they widen suddenly cause disruption - our glaciers are melting away at an accelerating rate, a calm rational person suddenly turn irrational and financial markets suddenly turn chaotic. My work focusses away from this disruption and instead it explores how cracks widen to bring in light and insights that lead to breakthrough discovers, toppling paradigms to bring in a new world order. 


Can these cracks make us see the invisible, feel the intangible and touch the impossible?
