“Everything flows and nothing abides; everything gives way and nothing stays fixed. It is in changing that things find repose.”
-Heraclitus’ Fragments
Infinite Forms is a fluid sculptural loop that explores interconnectedness and interdisciplinarity. The sculpture creates a multifaceted experience that produces multiple viewing opportunities and material interactions.
Infinite Forms reveals two material characters: one smooth, mirrored, reflective, and another tactile, colorful, and textured. Moving around the artwork gives different glimpses of the two material qualities, creating two distinct yet overlapping experiences. The artwork also frames views and serves as a portal for interaction between people on either side.
Infinite Forms is an artwork that engages the context by weaving into the pathways of peoples’ daily routes. Sometimes a moment for pause, a quick check-in with a friend, or a selfie picture reveals the multifaceted material experiences of the two surfaces. The kaleidoscopic effects of the tessellated skin create multiple experiences, some cool, geometric and mysterious, and others warm, inviting, reflective and playful.
