‘Faced with these installations one is reminded of Maholy Nagy’s Light Machine where purely looking and observing the visual object is as much pleasure as deciphering and understanding its construction and processes. These multi-screen installations focus on the visual reading of surface, playing with distance, reflections and picture planes. Elements such as the tide, waves, currents and their rhythms become active components in conjunction with the framing, loops, angles and multi-projection to create a myriad of possibilities where each set- up and although using many ‘natural’ elements as source material they do not reflect or mimic nature but rather translate some of the patterns, movements and structures present in both the content and the technological apparatus into a visually autonomous installation’.Michael Maziere April 1985 From the book ‘The Structure of Chance’
