Sarah Morris

"Hornet (Origami)", K20, Düsseldorf

Beginning July 9, 2010

In this series, Sarah Morris refers to an old technique which is rooted in Chinese and Japanese culture. With this method, complex structures can be developed with simple processes. The digitally processed geometrical structures in Hornet (Origami) have an ambivalent effect on the even wall. On the one hand, the frieze-like development of the all-over structure emphasises the wall's flatness. On the other hand, its surface seems like a relief which has been created by means of endless folding. The 6.5 x 27 m wall consists of handpainted, high gloss ceramic tiles measuring 15 x 15 cm.
