Water Works II

Four angled curtains of water droplets on nylon threads are suspended diagonally in rhomboid form stretching from ceiling to ground. The slow liquid descent transforms the space into a ‘minimalist grotto’.

‘We perceive water, many particles of it, but though it is so familiar a substance, the water here is made strange. Synthetic threads divert the flow slightly off axis, while the low pressure ”slowness” is a tease, an apparent delay of nature’s inevitable momentum.’ Bruce Adams, Fifth Australian Sculpture Triennial Catalogue
