A work based on theoretical trigonometry and embodied measurement. With assistance from Dr Paul Balnaves.

In a minimal, windowless room, a person seated at the centre determines their location by visually aligning with the corners, walls, and doorframe. Angles are estimated using arm spans, finger-widths, and imagined tangents, constructing a system grounded in bodily perception. The subject moves in space, repositioning the chair they are seated at. With each repositioning, a new set of calculations is made, producing an evolving spatial configuration.

By transforming the mathematical act of positioning into an aesthetic and performative exploration, the work imagines spatial practice as an ongoing dialogue between structure and subjectivity.
