This piece sets up a direct relation between the individual and a set of objects. Everyday artefacts come to life and spin in the palm of the hand for the simple pleasure of spinning. Weaving a web of impulses or urges, they suggest a succession of attempts at interaction. The duality of inert objects and a living being possesses sensual connotations – a game of seduction which, moving beyond the tangible, suggests man’s struggle for control over his environment.
