structure
structure investigates how constructions change, and how a change in one element may affect the larger system to which it belongs. These constructions include social and cultural conventions, patterns of behaviour and thought, and physical forms such as architecture and natural environments.
The project asks whether there is an underlying structure holding these constructions together, and whether that structure is stable or itself subject to change. The works examine this relationship through images, sculptural arrangements, collage and moving image.
Questions
- What happens when an underlying structure changes? How far do the consequences reach, and which constructions are affected?
- Can changing a construction, for example by altering its form, content or constituent elements, also alter the structure of which it is part?
- To what extent is making an act of copying or transforming something already encountered? How do different degrees of deviation change an image, object or idea?
- What can repetition, disruption and rearrangement reveal about the relationship between order and chaos?

This is an archive of a series begun in 2014. The original index recorded absence as in progress; no separate page has been supplied for that work. Where another work was proposed rather than realised in its final form, the individual page distinguishes the proposal from the surviving documentation.
