Ouroboros Expanding
Calendar Folly 2014
 
Vass - Ouroboros Expanding
 
A self-referring cycle constructs how we perceive. This recursive model is manifest in many natural and symbolic forms. This year's folly is an architectural interpretation of Ouroboros, or the serpent eternally eating its own tail and looping into itself. The dynamics of this structure allow it to grow infinitely while we swim from the older parts of our past beliefs to the edges of our expanding consciousness. The unfolding armature pairs photographs that explore rhythms of decay and re-birth.
