I’m always interested in minimizing the apparatus of the artwork’s support, while still allowing the work to be easily mounted and transported. With my Looping Twists works I discovered that if I doubled back the tapes I could twist them without having a stretcher bar or similar restraint to hold the twists in place. They hold themselves in place, by their own weight and tension.
I was sitting contemplating the work, some time later, and it occurred to me that if I placed one of our convection heaters directly below it, the rising heat would generate movement. This varies from a gentle vibration to something more pronounced, depending on the heat setting.
