Mirrored disks hung from thin wire that are made to oscillate randomly by an electric fan. ‘We kept our father alive with out blood donations until his blood disease finally killed him. We gave him our blood which was, in a way, his blood to begin with. I wanted to call this work “automato autobiographia” but someone said it just looked like something sparkly.’
