New Twin<\/em>\u00a0is 192 taut connections strung vertically between floor and ceiling. Each anchored, magnetic unit of the work has a variance in strength, distance, and surface texture. These floating connections produce a replicated \u201csurface\u201d in total. The work sits centered in the gallery space.\u00a0Additional concerns lie in passing light and the centrality of the work to its room and light sources. As Roy Sorensen defines a shadow to be a gradient of light bodies and their absences,\u00a0New Twin<\/em>\u2019s place within a revolving light casts a penumbral plane over its room.\u00b9 Here, an occluded shape takes form\u2013the projection of an escaping mass. The work\u00a0addresses this oscillation between\u00a0one<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0many<\/em>, and in doing so, locates the viewer against an inexhaustible architecture of wire and pull.<\/p>\n
