End Over End
The slinky is familiar to most cultures and generations. Both nostalgic and surrealistic, the artwork playfully transforms its environment into a virtual playground. Each coil of the oversized spring is illuminated in turn to create the familiar flowing form of a slinky tumbling end-over-end into the shadows.
The oversized scale makes the viewer appear ‘smaller’ and the relationship between viewer, object and space is disrupted. Proportions between you and the ‘toy’ are reversed, as if we have shrunk and somehow ended up in Alice’s Wonderland.
