Isaac Newton said in his third law that ‘For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction’. This statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. A force is a pull or a push that acts upon an object as a result of its interaction with something else. For example if you sit on a chair it will push upwards on your body. The forces of nature have fascinated and inspired artists for centuries and been translated into many artistic creations. Often artists attempt to break such laws and push boundaries (to make their own unique chaos) but at the same time they enjoy exploring balanced elements.
The work in A Pull or A Push forms a dialogue set up by the tension and struggle within the artist’s subject. The resulting pieces are both chaotic but at the same time structured and infinitely complex.
