Missing Corners 2016

Created in an effort to both reference the Methodist Church that once stood on the site and to capitalise on the myriad of ways in which viewers approach the site. The form itself makes a visual, yet subtle, connection to the rooftop of the Methodist Church and importantly, works through parallax, that is to say the works appearance changes depending upon where you look at it from. 

 

With the soft surface of the timber panels and the open triangular structures, passersby are encouraged to take time out, enter, sit and contemplate the work.  The simple aesthetic references the interior furnishings of the former church, whilst sitting in contrast to the surrounding buildings of glass and steel.

 

Notably where the triangles meet the corners are missing, this creates a singular form that runs in a continuum. Large metal beams are tensioned over many meters, imbuing the artwork with a sense of mystery or impossibility.
