Simple yet large art installation with high contrast and texture.

London artist Robert Currie transforms gallery spaces with the simple materials of old cassette and video tape ribbons. His large scale installations explore the contrast of positive and negative, rational and irrational, and as stated in his artist statement “the inevitability of the emergence of order from disorder.” These repetitive reflective textures change based on your physical position and create dramatic optical experiences.

I would love to have an installation like this integrated into my future home or office entry way. This is just a taste, peek at more of his installations and sculptures.
