I loved the gossamer. ‘barely-there’ quality of some of Lenore Tawney’s pieces—and not being in anyway a master weaver—I looked for an existing material that could give me some of that delicacy for my response to The Kick-About No. 136.

I found that ready-made in the form of this very fine copper mesh that came in the form of a long cylindrical ‘sausage skin’. It was a lovely material with which to work, infinitely mouldable and holding its shape. I suspended a length of the mesh tube from my kitchen ceiling and photographed it under different lighting conditions.

I’ve served the resulting images a few ways, principally converting them into black and white images to draw out the forms. The final image is a photograph of the shadow cast by the tubular mesh.
