AUTUMNWINTER 201516
INTRO
Humble materials are imbued with mysticism through their meticulous arrangement into ancient script-like patterns The physical traces of dust and debris we leave behind are examined in minute detail and recreated on a magnified scale We find unexpected order and beautiful complex systems in transient matter as the minute is elevated to monumental proportions

STORIES
DIVININGMATERIALS
Everyday materials such as coffee grounds tea leaves stones and shells are sieved sorted and meticulously arranged to become imbued with mysticism value and meaning
FIBROUSCONNECTIONS
Beautiful order and intricate structures are revealed in the traces of dust fibre and particles we leave behind as the insignificant becomes meaningful
DIVINEDUST
Dust and debris are compacted into simple forms or pressed to create textural surfaces and products as we see humble and waste materials repurposed
DIVINING MATERIALS
INTRO
Materials associated with fortune telling such as tea leaves are used as a vehicle for mysticism Esther Lobo photographs her version of the Rorschach test made with supermarket food displayed alongside its packaging Stones and shells are sieved sorted and arranged in script-like patterns by artist Sonia King while Stone Fields are digital stones arranged into pseudo-random formations using complex algorithms

As its title suggests this trend centres on the idea of focus and intimacy ndash focusing attention on a single moment or object in reaction to the globalised cut-and-paste approach of a JPEG Generation Focus also describes a clear and sharply defined image New developments in hi-def cameras capture life and its movements with a gripping intensity Artists such as Ed Atkins and Adeline de Monseignat play with this double meaning in their work using high-definition and intricate textures to attract our focus to objects that we can in fact never touch
FIBROUS CONNECTIONS
INTRO
The forces of complex invisible data driving the world and the physical traces left behind inspire fibrous connections Noa P Kaplan looks at balls of dust reconstructing them at a massive scale revealing beautiful order in intricate structures Chiharu Shiotarsquos installations of black yarn spread through interior spaces are overwhelming and immersive while Marya Kazoun makes fibrous webs that bind organic structures
