Action at a Distance (the Leap) represents a phenomenon known to quantum theory and also lovers. The sculpture consists of a pair of steel frames reminiscent of Giacometti’s early Surrealist works, placed apart. Attached to the frames and crossing the boundary, are metallic fluid forms held together and kept apart by the magnetic field. It is a meditation on ideas of invisible things embedded within philosophical questions of what connects us, binds us together and fills ‘emptiness’ with matter.
