Blood Lines - Laser cut Reynobond and prepared Tyvek

Fishing village - Ireland. Fishermen; their sons and fathers - heads bent repairing their nets. Brightly coloured twine - a sign of our times - a network of fibres intertwined like DNA - the blood lines of forefathers binding generations together in a common enterprise or, like the roads we travel crossing each other's paths. It is rare these days for us to stay close to home - to work with our sons and fathers - we are bound to the place of our birth only by the blood lines of our ancestors.

We live in a machine age; an illusion of reflections on chrome and high gloss surfaces. Precision is everywhere; clean intoxicating exactness. When the TV was first invented it was presented to the public on a table in a wooden cabinet with plants and flowers to show that it was a non threatening technology. In Our Time is all machine and yet somehow strangely organic – bound to nature by the biological forms of life from the plant and animal world hardened into iron and steel.
