An investigation revolving around geometry, proportions and the human body in relationship to other objects in space.


" Everything is expressed through relationship. Color can exist only through other colors, dimensions through other dimensions position through other positions that oppose them. That's why I regard relationship as the principal thing"

- Piet Mondrian


Revisiting-sketching sculptures and paintings (I’ve created about two years ago): A middle plane connects the magnetic clusters, iron fillings align perpendicularly to the source of magnetism. The attractive and the repulsive taking the shape of a human body in apparent motion.

"There is something strong about the bond within the structure of a diamond that makes it the hardest and most pure element founded in the mantle of the earth, whereas for graphite a weak bond makes it dark and slippery." FB

This is a series of (12) short videos documenting (slow motion) my interactions with objects attaching four magnets to my limbs (palm of hands and sole of feet), exploring the physical phenomena using my body in relationship to other objects in tandem with a bass sound (Music by: Eliana Liuni).

grabbing and shaking off metal bars-gravity over magnetism.

grabbing and holding needles- felt like a flimsy broken structure, incisive yet insubstantial boundary.

hands and feet clinging to metal strap/ plate- a subtle connection takes place, moving smoothly up and down and around. The strap becomes a boundary: I step on it , balancing, dropping it down and lifting it up, stretching it up and down, over an over again…
