Winding Balance is a structure built using a Motor rotating at 1 RPM as an investigation balance and shifting compositions.

This installation piece is a process to understanding how a composition can be dynamic and impermanent. Changing through, light, shade, shape, evolving forms, layering and movement. Using a particular constitution and experimental method to discover balance as a means to form obscure shapes and playing with how to place different joints and materials together to create multifaceted compositions and structures.

Working with the element of risk and balance. If we don’t take a bet on something and risk what we already know then we are limiting are capabilities to expand our knowledge in the space of the unknown. This expansion can bring a deeper understanding to the harmony found through balance. Using balance as a means to connect to a concept for conscious being. To discover how to bring balance through a shifting time, space and perception that can offer us a multitude of perspectives.

Remaining centred is a strong foundation for this exploration. The centre is always rotating and always remains constant, however what moves around it is in constant change and adaptation. Offering viewers many perspectives within the space of 1 minute from a single angle.

To question their perception of reality and the state of permanence. To bring clarity to the concept that when we are balanced, we are centred, symbiotically and consequently in constant adaption and change.
