Octonion was a culmination of all the work I had done with pyramidal structures and octagons.
It consists of a large scale pyramid, into which an infinite loop animation of octagons is projected, which seem to be sucked constantly to the innards of the cone, exaggerating the perspective and implying space far beyond the possible.
I’ve exhibited this piece in two different situations; one in which it was embedded in the wall, another in which it was floor based.
I am fascinated by geometric abstract forms that act as all encompassing statements. The problem however lies in that these are often utopian fictions that deny reality as much as they try to make sense of it. The problem, I believe, is one of balance. The key is to find a dialogue between order and chaos, without falling into utopian fallacy. We need order – but we also need the anarchic. A touch of imperfection makes a transient thing of purity and genius. It is this that I constantly search for.
