Temperature-water-net.

This is a an experiment between water, temperature, net and myself - a congealing of all our intentions. 

                                      

It is made of sections of net sewn into random shapes with a running stitch that is then pulled. Size, each section approx 15 cm sq. There are 6 sections. The shape enables them to be assembled into a miniature space.

   

                                        

                                      

There is also quite a sensitive gravity - water - net relationship going on. Depending on the angle (horizontal) of the net, water will hold in the tiny spaces in between the threads or (if vertical) it will quickly disappear. This happens as if by magic - It is not apparent where it goes it seems to just 'pop' away. Actually it is just draining down to the bottom, by 'popping' rather than flowing. The closer it is to some sort of object in the net, ie. a bit of embroidery pattern - the quicker it disappears. 

                                       

If damp the net freezes rapidly and will hold a shape ( on this scale anyway). 

It thaws rapidly also, from top to bottom - the bottom is locked in a slightly bigger piece of ice because the water has 'popped' down there.

                                 

   

Actually , one of the things I like most about this is the well in the middle and the potential of draining water into a space.  

   

I am not sure how all of this works as a 'collaboration' but it is certainly a 'congealing of agency' .  Also I am becoming more aware of the way I speak about what's happening - I changed 'the water is sensitive to the angle of the net'  to say , 'there is quite a sensitive gravity-water-net relationship going on. It is interesting to try and construct  one language in away that  positions oneself in a different way of thinking / being.
