The artwork pursues some subjects the practice is also exploring in  architecture. The first is how pure geometry is both given body and yet undermined (and ultimately exceeded) by the qualities of physical materials, in this case bronze. This involves the provisional and ultimately flawed idea of an opposition between natural and human-made objects. The second is a counter to the first: an adventure in empiricism where the physicality of the mute bronze metronome is simply allowed to do its thing. The third involves delight in the unplanned and unintentional. Here for example, the moody deep hues of the bronze surface vs its buttery-gold interior; the sand-like granular quality of the bronze’s ground state and the cuts in it; the sense of mass subjected to gravity in the form of the arm at various positions of angle…these are all particular delights not ultimately premeditated, but rather discovered.
