My question in this work has been to figure out what it means for matter to be stable or illusory. I recognize matter changes depending on its scale and that we live inside systems and constructs that are essentially provisional based on our limited perceptions.
Matter Illusion is a work that is a macroscopic view of interconnectivity and perceived separateness. The weight is reflective of our gravity and mass, the trap-like forms are reflective of the tendency to compartmentalize, define, and categorize all of which are interconnected by the netting above.
“Dividing reality up into parts and then naming those parts is always arbitrary, a product of convention, because subatomic particles, and everything else in the universe, are no more separate from one another than different patterns in an ornate carpet." David Bohm, Physicist
"All matter has a wavelike character." Brian Greene, Physicist
