Description

A set of seven white hexagonal ceramic objects titled Wa (Meaning Ring in Japanese). They have smooth but unpolished surfaces. Each can easily be held in the hand. They’re tactile. Seen side-on, they curve gradually towards a lip on one of their edges. Or most do. There are two variations. The first variation swells one-sidedly, the second rises to a measured central hemisphere. With only one hemisphere section, it seems natural to piece the remaining six tiles around it. When you do, they form a crown of geometric petals. The hallowed curves reveal a loop indented across their surfaces. Neither the structure or the ring takes precedence. This is the first ripple. Sam Frith has produced Wa as a preview for future installations, both public, private and commercial, across London. He sees them as blank slates to interconnect spaces, a reflection of how networks expand and information grows, a flux of particles that spread organically.
