SHANNON WRIGHT : Scholastic Aptitude Series

Form and Content (Internal Logic), detail
 
The three sculptures in the Scholastic Aptitude series are made from notebook and sketchbook paper that has been stack-cut, custom hole-punched a few pages at a time, and then painstakingly spiral-bound. Two of these pieces suggest mountainous terrain, while the third is a woven structure with its spiral bindings serving as flexible hinges. Form and Content (Internal Logic) is inspired by the notion that a material object can be the 'vessel' for meaning or the bearer of a theory. Notes taken in the conceptualization stage of the piece are used to build the physical piece. Among these notes are quotes from architect Christopher Alexander, art historian E.H. Gombrich, and others, on the nature of pattern and the role of 'rules' in pattern making. Additionally, one of Sol LeWitt's 'Paragraphs on Conceptual Art' is transcribed. This is an absurd attempt to 'overstuff' an object with meaning, resulting in an object that seems merely self-absorbed. The piece called Horror Vacui celebrates the moment in which the excitement of acquiring a pristine new sketchbook turns to intimidation. Application of a Theory acknowledges the often dubious connection between a form and its ostensible 'message'. The piece might also suggest a child who has devised a labour-intensive way to avoid her written homework.
