In response to the belief amongst eminent scientists and physicians that our DNA are partly created from stardust, this work presents a collection of random chosen acupuncture needles taken from a selection used on 100 people whose DNA is now linked and suspended in perceived stillness.
The illusion of floating in a stillness is contrary to our growing understanding of energy, atoms and particles that offer everything is constantly vibrating in a space where nothing is ever still or for that matter real other than how we perceive that reality to be.
Our accepted knowledge is largely formed opinions from other’s, passed down and learned to be fact. This is an acceptable flaw in us and yet knowledge and science itself is constantly and rightly challenging its own discoveries, perceptions and views.
Our limitations and evolving understanding is confined by the boundaries we accept as our reality rather than our imagination. Albert Einstein offered, ‘imagination is far greater than knowledge for knowledge has boundaries, imagination has none.’
This work challenges the notion of stillness or of being still even though appearance and general understanding suggest that is the reality. The DNA of strangers forming a larger connected molecule, the copper and stainless steel needles, the acrylic and wood plinth are all vibrating energies, presented in space, our immediate space, a space we perceive to be still whilst learning it never is.
