This assemblage consists of two separate sides -liquid and technological- which share a connection through water.

The Technological side is comprised largely of plastic materials. It is held together with electrical conduits and shiny new bolts, and illuminated with artificial lighting which irradiates the plastic film behind which it lies. It is abuzz with electricity and attempts to depict a futuristic sense of style.

The Liquid side centres around a rock-filled container that recives and collects water. Seeds have been planted within this vessel with the intent of fostering a natural continuation of time. You will see found objects that have assimilated an organic appearance after a history in nature.

However, the water container is a Trojan horse. A pump enables the wet side to connect with the dry side. By doing so, the water slowly starts to change the balance between the two and leaves its marks behind; rust particles start to slowly build up a pattern on the space in between (the real space).

Liquid intelligence-To see a river slowly move by, or a waterfall Cascading down a mountainside. Sounds of waves hitting a beach, the feeling of rain touching your face. Water is everywhere, maybe everything. It is in a constant transitional journey in its quest to connect with more water. From the currents in the oceans transporting masses of water around the world, down to the phase changes within its own molecules.

Technological intelligence-When moving water is flowing by, pick a fraction of a second and capture that with a camera. Drops of water get frozen in mid-air; the moment stops. A three-dimensional body of water gets transformed, into a two-dimensional "dry image of ice”Take that image, put it up on a wall (The pictorial space).

Then turn your gaze to the surface, in between (The real space), where the water returned to its liquid state. You can trace the water as it moves down this meditative layer.  It is a constantly changing pattern, sometimes it stops for a moment, before it finds its track and hurries down in a journey toward evaporation, the never-ending just changing states and maybe pH values.

Technical intelligence interacts with liquid intelligence along its constant journey.
