About this work:
 
This is another image that has a long history and is a good example of how I like to lead an original work, in this case a sculpture, through other transformations, to meet this point.

 

It started with a small sculpture called 'Fire Bug' (see image) where I was experimenting with flame, matches and steel contraptions whilst filming its brief life. (This work is related to my other digital print 'Bug'.)

 

I took a still from the video, manipulated and repeated the single image until I arrived at a symmetry that worked and I considered to be a good 2D version of the thought behind the sculptures.

 

The title refers to a line from a William Blake poem:

 

The Tiger

 

Tyger Tyger, burning bright, 

In the forests of the night; 

What immortal hand or eye, 

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

 

(Read the complete poem here)

 

Ideas around repetition and pattens  creates a palimpsest of meanings which are linked through time as a new work emerges from the old. The original work is redeemed, transformed into a new way of being.
