New studio/workshop

Chris — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:16:40 +0000

The new studio/workshop is finally taking shape. The original building was a milking shed constructed around the 1920′s and at about 50 square meters will be a vast improvement on my current space.

Internal Framework for Observable Reality

In the book Timaeus, Plato presents the idea that the Universe was created to resemble a geometric progression; triangles form Platonic solids and the basic building blocks of the universe.

“a description of what is changeless, fixed and clearly intelligible will be changeless and fixed, while a description of what changes and is likely, will also change and be just likely. As being is to becoming, so is truth to belief. Therefore, in a description of the physical world, one should not look for anything more than a likely story”.
- Extract from Plato’s Timaeus

caelum accipiter : Mothballed, 2011.
Glass, Oak, Plastic, Pine, Velvet.
approx 600x600x1000 (mm).

One must travel well off the beaten track to find a place where bird life is near its primitive condition. In all parts of the mainland there have been changes by the elimination of one or more species. The change has not been altogether one of the disappearance of native birds and their replacement by introduced species. Many kinds have gone and left nothing in their place.

Hargreave’s mirror pup tent mesmerises with its silvery stainless steel flanks confusingly reflecting the trees and sky
