Grain, the last of these series of works, explores “readymade” objects as works of art. Here, the piece consists of five non-identical hats, although they appear identical at first glance, supported by a 14 cm wide beam of pine-wood. The work “nods” at the continuous and undefined relationship between hat, wood and group. With Grains, geometric lines and form merging into a continuous sculpture that is ultimately a step into the space it occupies.
The work touches on the continuity of material and themes such as repetitiveness that take away the focus from the idea of a hat and consequent functionality of such object and melts the way into something that is not defined by a pre-defined concept but new in itself, and that therefore is neither hat, nor function, nor wood, nor individual, nor self.
Grain is left as an unfinished work, as the last piece of the beam is not-attached to the main structure, but the Grains within it imply necessary continuity into the space the work occupies.
