1-52 / one to fifty-two
|
1-52 is a series of drawings recording the developing arrangement of a deck of playing cards, flicked one at a time, face-down, onto a piece of paper of the same proportions as the cards, made as a physical arrangement of all 52 drawings and as an animation. |

Series of 52 drawings. Pencil on paper, each 41 x 27.7cm Also made as a gif animation, 10 mins |
A companion piece, One to Fifty-Two, draws out the composition from the last of the series of 52 card drawings as a wall-relief, constructed from the same size pieces of paper as the series of drawings.
The drawings in 1-52 examine position and relation as formal information. The installation as a whole looks to the further interpretation of more subtle and contextual information; the making of the works, the artists’ personalities and approaches, the circumstances of the works’ exhibiting, and so on, which are contemplated as multi-level responses to all elements, at all scales, involved in the interaction of object and observer. This relation of observer to object is given particular emphasis in One to Fifty-Two. |

The works’ focussing on this order of interaction explores this as a possible mechanism for the self-organisation of the general, highly complex and perhaps truly indeterminate processes which form the world.
