Eighty-one polished aluminium pieces are placed in a geometric grid. The orientation of each element is decided by a random algorithm and so the number of possible arrangements of the pieces is 8 to the power 81. That is 8x8x8...x8, with eighty-one eights.
The work reflects my interest in mathematics and the aesthetic possibilities that pattern and number can generate. This piece is unique in that, if one were to attempt to recreate it using the same algorithm, it would likely take much longer than the lifetime of the universe.
The results of all this number juggling is a beautiful piece of art. It interacts with the light falling on it to create wonderful patterns of reflection and shadow. As the light changes, the patterns change subtly. Every time you look at it you will see something different.
