Sweet Spot detail
Shawn Causey and Mark Daniell | Nylon, wood, metal
2016
A meditation on color and the pleasure of seeing, Sweet Spot is an immersive installation created by Shawn Causey and Mark Daniell. It is made of miles of thin multicolor nylon string. The movement of the viewer activates Sweet Spot as every change in perspective reveals new color harmonies. The strings seem to flicker and undulate as the eye moves because it is difficult to discern which strings are near versus far. This hypnotic effect compels the viewer to move slowly as the eye registers the ever-changing color and depth of the composition.
Sweet Spot is on a national tour with wonderspaces.com.
