Felt tracing cracks in the ceiling, dripping on the floor
In this room there existed a subtle rupture in an otherwise highly controlled and protected building. Felt infesting is an aesthetic response to recent investigations into concrete decay, water damage and mineral accretion, which includes the amazing leaks of the metro stations through which I pass daily. Using water and felt, my aim is to softly undermine the solid concrete architecture, and suggest a gentle threat of possible collapse or at least invasion by strange ecologies.
In this way, I wish to suggest the instability inherent to the world outside, that we do exist in a world of rapid change, and give a sense of the immanent and personal response required of an alive existence, from which these solid buildings carefully protect us.
