Uniseriate

installation

In botany, uniseriate means arranged in a single row, layer, or series. This piece is meant to be entered and felt as an experience. I built an enclosure and filled it with many fluorescent mobiles inspired by images of uniseriate structures in cells. The mobiles were illuminated by a strobing blacklight meant to cause disorientation. A low bassy rumbling distorted audio played to further the discomfort or uneasy feeling. But the piece maintained an aura of fascination, just as I had in researching these structures.
