dsitr
kinetic sculpture
2023

dsitr contatins a green hosepipe placed on top of a lightbox covered by an acrylic sheet. Light fractures the hosepipe as the viewer moves around the work. The work was born out of the memory of a misspelt postcard to a childhood friend stating I had seen a “ded snak in the rod”. Both Dyslexic, my friend understood the statement, while remaining indecipherable to our parents.

Exhibited in the work-in-progress show, DemoDemoDemo, 2023, at York City College.

‘‘The lightbox brings the snake alive.’ This is a snake from a childhood memory – a ‘ded snak in the rod’*** – as well as the snake that is the coiled hosepipe. It is still only one of many possible modes of ‘encounter’ though, it’s true – the combination/forced proximity of two or more things to create an n’th thing.’
