- SeriesDeveloped from the monumental installation Gravity
The viewer’s movement echoes the circling motion within the form.
Developed from Spriggs’ large installation Gravity, the Gravity Series brings its central formation into a group of smaller sculptures, each unique. Luminous force lines spiral around a central void, suggesting matter gathering under the pull of gravity. The eye follows these curved trajectories as the body moves around the sculpture. Looking becomes a kind of orbit, connecting the viewer’s movement with the apparent rotation held within the still form.
The series shares the Vision works’ interest in a form coming into being through force and perception. Its centre suggests a singularity around which the visible form takes shape, drawing attention inward while the viewer continues to circle it.
Later chromatic variations include Red Gravity.
