About the Artwork

Held aloft is a representation of part of a device that measures, or is measured by, our desire for understanding. An understanding of what is unknown, that we will create meaning for to fill the gaps of this unknowingness. We desire the certainty of knowledge whilst ignoring the importance for the desire over the knowledge. The desire is the thing, the thing that moves us forward far more than the knowledge desired. 
The desire is continuous and constant.

The work supports itself with the main piece resting on the support structure. One end of the main piece is raised and the support structure put in place and the main piece is then leant on it. There is only one position for this where the nails on the main piece rest on the cross bar of the support structure.
