Dust

2008

'Dust' has been specially made for 'Domestic Appliance' a new exhibition of kinetic art with a domestic theme at Flowers East London. open from August the 1st to September 13th.

'Humorous respite came in the form of Jim Bond's 'Dust'. With this piece a never ending dance was played out between an electro magnet that attracted iron filings, quietly moved forward and then dropped them before it's partner, a brush, opposite. The brush then, rather pointedly, sweeped the filings back over to the side of the table the magnet resided on. Like two siblings quietly tormenting each other, this piece had me reminiscing about my own petty sibling squabbles.'
