Gill Gatfield – Wire Works

Wire Works Series

Suspended and strained into shape, the wire works operate under tension, requiring negotiation and care.  Connected to mains electricity or dressed in barbs, the wire is problematic - fencing and tempting viewers to engage, touch or avoid.  A sharp refrain shadowing the Glass I's, the wire texts regulate and monitor the pulse of multiple personas.
