Strings and Fragments, 2023

[ kinetic sculpture ]

Strings and Fragments is a kinetic sculpture, animating 140 handmade pieces of clay.

A homage to the movements of natural waves, seen abstractly, it parallels visual phenomena such as the reflections of moonlight on sea ripples; the impression of indefinite movement, as short, glowing stripes move into each other, merging and separating again.

These fragments try to capture the aura of such glimmering strokes of light.

Showers of chimes emerge from this fragile dance, as the fragments collide with each other, slowly falling and rising from the surface of the floor.
