pubs.rights-statement	The installation can be situated within an emergent field of cross disciplinary practice between art and design that employs technical and conceptual strategies. More specifically, it can be located alongside design strategies that have arisen in the last decade within the contemporary craft and design that combine conceptual thinking, craft and design and whose processes arise from material based, technical concerns of craft for imaging new possibilities for the designed object. The current project utilizes precedents of practice in ‘Critical Design’ first proposed by Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby (2005) and work by Gaver et, al (2004) on the value of uncertainty in object relations. The focus is to isolate and examine particular properties associated with material thinking and embodied engagement. The project takes a phenomenological rather than representational view of the designed object as the subject of potential embodied interaction. Specific design strategies of ambiguation and provocation are utilised to bring into focus particular ways of engaging with and experiencing the art-design object. Significantly this work explicitly references observational practices associated with early scientific research and presented an clustered arrangement of sculptural works, and utilised visual paradox as the primary strategy. The works challenge expectations of materials and gravity, whereby each of the individual rope sculptures, appear to defy gravity. The exhibition considered how a range of leading artists are challenging and exceeding the traditions of painting in the twenty-first century. Notably Equipoise series as a sculptural installation was curated as a spatial intervention collapsing distinctions between the painting and sculpture. The series was selected to be shown as a a curated solo group show titled Right Here, Right Now, at Penrith Regional Gallery & the Lewers Bequest, curated by Micheal Do.	en_US
