Rough cement-cast orbs are suspended over narrow slabs of fragile glass fitted over a wood podium. The spheres are arranged from small to large along the semicircular track. Due to the interplay of light and shadow, and our shifting gaze as we move around the work, it exudes dynamism and movement. Like beads rebounding when dropped on the floor, or atoms shooting away from a single line, Convergence ultimately captures movement in space.
