About Arpeggi

I made a 240cm high Arpeggi / REZ / gilded piece for the Bristol Contemporary Open in 2008. The exhibition presented an opportunity to hang something a little larger, and a little more experimental than I had been used to. The piece took the form of 48 trimmed photographic prints, nailed straight to the wall with masonry pins. I liked the idea of creating a complex lattice of pins in the physical space ahead of the geometry, in part because the geometry itself is based on a complex grid of three dimensional triangulated forms, onto which the individual ’notes’ of the arpeggio are hung.

I also wanted to make some play out of the idea of visually differentiating the analogue components from the digital, and so each form has a smooth vector side to the left, and a stepped bitmapped edge to the right. The whole is then set within an asymmetric grid which is described in pink on the back of the folio box. There’s also a kind of loosely falling sequence of viscose geometry that fills in the interstitial spaces between the notes, holding the individual components in place.
