Exploring movement, suspension, size and new material. I've experimented further into the idea of capturing a material that isn't easy to control and seeing how it interacts with a space. Seeing how the concept of action and manipulation could effect the flour and create a visual interaction. From ceiling to floor, the piece brings the eye through the entirety of the space. It creates a circling current from the suspended material to the flour sifts on the floor and back again. When the fabric hangs still, the flour defies gravity, but when force is applied, the flour is sifted through the undersized holes in the fabric and the screen before hitting the floor in an air-like dust.
