I have recently won a commission for a piece of work to go in the Manchester Metropolitan University Geoffrey Manton Building. The building houses the faculty of humanities, so my piece was designed with this faculty in mind.
I wanted to make a visual representation of the transition from material archiving to digital archiving, so I chose to work with paper and electrical cables. The wire is stripped in the middle and wound around the paper straws, as if it is engulfing, consuming and preserving the information on the paper. I will be making it over the next month or so.
