Milan 2008 - Spiral Islands
Spiral Islands is a completely new installation created specially for Milan 2008 where it was shown in Zona Tortona. Delicate cloud lighting forms float over, and mirror, island seat forms below -- like the puffy white clouds that sit over the countless islands scattered over the Pacific Ocean. Aotearoa, the Maori name for New Zealand, means the land of the long white cloud. Both light and seat forms are made from a skin of two interlocking spirals, which were originally developed on a smaller scale in a set of wooden bowls. We have repeated the pattern and structure on different scales in exactly the same way in which nature does, as it forms the basis of life.
