Untitled(blank)2005
A4 copy paper in landscape format rolled up to make a cylinder.
Rolling one sheet at a time, paper is added to the previous sheet, contributing to the growth of the cylinder's diameter. This action continues until the two short edges of the paper meet determining the cylinder's final diameter.
The pragmatic and mechanical nature of the work though simple, does need to be executed with sensitivity and precision. However, this said, it is to be expected that there will be a human touch and individual tolerence in evidence and that nuance and incident will emerge.
Perhaps it is this 'margin of error' between an idea, and its realisation, that is the location for what we call art and the poetic.
