Tipping Point, 2020

Recycled purlins, house paint
240x750x560cm

Tipping point is the critical point in a situation, process, or system beyond which a significant and often unstoppable effect or change takes place. Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

Murray and Burgess reuse wood, once-were-trees, in all their weighty imperfection.

Yellow purlins of wood are suspended in air, temporarily stalled, waiting, their inevitable crashing to ground deferred while some decision or action can take place. Some have already hit ground, about-to-fall, poised in their unbalance, their point of tipping.

Compressed in-between spaces, making difficult passage between the in-your-face yellow.
