rapidly #a - chain
Over the past year I have been using street sweeper blades, and other recycled media, in combination with the red-and-white colours of a STOP sign, to spell out a new binary/ascii message, which decoded reads:
rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable & sustainable future for all: IPCC 2023
This quote from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, who in March of 2023 published their Sixth Assessment Report, I've used as the pattern generator for many new works. In this work, just the word 'rapidly' is used.
Along with this message, (applied via a single kiln-fired vitreous enamel dot per sweeper link) this work employs the offcuts from the installation work rapidlyclosingwindow.. #1, as well as stainless steel chain links.
