Alexandra Carr's work is a response to a range of patterns in nature, natural processes and phenomena, from magnetism, light, ice structures and dark matter. Her practice often starts with a scientific, empirical inquiry and promotes a repetitive methodology in the process of production. This is paired with the need to deliver an experience over an explicit intellectual offering. She surveys physical forces, prying beneath their manifestation to uncover the underlying, complex ‘blueprint’ that connects us all to the cosmos. Our human fallibility prevents us from fully comprehending these ‘divine’ laws.As with quantum theory, superposition collapses the moment observation takes place, our grasp of the universal order leaves us the instant we try to hold onto the essence of it.
