Artwork description:

‘I’m delighted at the opportunity to engage with the architecture of The Hepworth. It’s refreshing in its acknowledgement that the vicissitudes of light and time are intrinsic to the appreciation of sculpture and plastic form that for all too long has merely been considered 3-Dimensional.’

This artwork, created exclusively for The Hepworth Wakefield is based on the speeds of sound and light and measures, specifically exactly one metre in width. The edition is typical of Wyn Evans’ practice which often links light, sound and the written word to create works distinguished by a minimalist aesthetic.

Using clear vinyl is an attempt to rupture existing systems of communication. Cerith Wyn Evans often uses this practice in his work—subverting certain given material forms, disrupting spatial-temporal coordinates, or adopting a communal rather than singular authorial voice.
