The Economist Plaza, London
Test Flights are a series of sculptures created for the Economist
Plaza with an intriguing twist on site-specificity.
Each form makes visible the forces of gravity and the power
of free fall - for it is as if they have been dropped from each tower. The deformation of the sculptures charts the different heights of the buildings, varying from moderate compression of the
original sphere to nearly complete flattening.
Test Flights has been funded by Arts Council England, and is being produced as part of an artist residency at the European Ceramic Work Centre, Amsterdam.
Catalogue with essays by Fabienne Nicholas and Michele Robecchi.
