A two-dimensional drawing 'hatches' into the third dimension: A stylized pair of wings is drawn/stitched on a horizontally suspended sheet of acrylic glass using black waxed thread. This 'drawing' builds the matrix for a bundle of invisible threads joining two acrylic sheets above our heads. Sewn to the vertical threads, a three-dimensional pair of wings (mohair) unfolds.
The fleeting shadow of the wings - it fluctuates with the light and weather outside - works as the counterpart of the steel weight at the bottom of the installation.
2-D 'hatches' into 3-D; Plato's Allegory of the Cave comes to mind.
The base - acrylic glass sewn with nylon and waxed braided thread, steel plate (weight)
Mohair stitched to a matrix of nylon threads.
