Pendulum

2017

Pendulum was inspired by the larger ongoing work Nomadic Structures that explores the notions of home in respect to the dwelling, the earth, and the universe. This project was inspired by Buckminster Fuller, who conceived that we could nurture spontaneity and the imaginative facilities with comprehensive environments that are conducive to creative impulse. In Pendulum, we explored “home” as a location in space that shelters you, home as where the heart is, using the geometry of the triangle as an archetypal shape that intrinsically connects us to our center. The installation comprised of a kinetic triangle pendent made of glass and gels suspended over circle of black mulch on top of mylar. The hanging sculpture and the multi-destination soundscape merge into a mesmerizing performance with Miriam as the intermediary. Pendulum plays on the concepts of the beating heart and time, while the dark mulch under the sculpture evokes the image of fire burning in a hearth.

Pendulum was hosted by Arts for Art during Vision Festival, 2017 at Judson Memorial Church.
