What Holds It Together

The work begins with a simple question: what holds this together?

Not in terms of material strength, but in terms of how parts relate, resist, and organise themselves into something that stands.

Structure is present throughout – embedded in joints, connections, and the way forces move through the form. It emerges via relationships of distributed logic rather than a fixed hierarchy.

What holds it together is present, but not given; it has to be worked out through the form itself.

Across the work, different structural conditions are tested.

In some pieces, structure circulates; in others it is contained. Elsewhere, structure is held in a state of release. and some works depend on mutual support between incomplete parts.

In some, structure emerges through aggregation while in others structure splits between object and shadow where the shadow is not a projection of a single form, but a composite of multiple layers compressed into one surface, obscuring how the structure actually works.
