The piece came about as a contemplation of emotion felt as weight, like gravity on the body. How there are invisible forces that push and pull inside and out. In the work, links and shifts create a rippling cause and effect. I like to think of it as a fragment of space and time we’ve zoomed into or even an expression of something that’s happening inside ourselves. it’s a fabric like series of connected events. An inclination can be our tendency, something that causes us to bend in a way, or a leaning into. Inclination is also a physical description, a measurement of slope or tilt. For example, the earth in inclined on its axis which in turn causes night and day, seasons and weather as it relates to the sun and moon.
