A NEEDLE WOMAN: GALAXY WAS A MEMORY, EARTH IS A SOUVENIR
Collaborator & Materials Designer
A Needle Woman: Galaxy was a Memory, Earth is a Souvenir is a 14-meter-tall needle-like pavilion with a bottom diameter of 1.4 meter and iridescent appearance. Its entire façade is covered in a self-assembled nanostructure that is made from a unique, custom-made material. The pavilion was created in collaboration with the Kimsooja Studio and the Wiesner Materials Science Lab. It was first erected as part of the 2014 Cornell Council for the Arts Biennial Intimate Cosmologies: The Aesthetics of Scale in an Age of Nanotechnology, Cornell University, New York, and exhibited at Frieze Sculpture 2018, London. The installation is now part of the permanent museum collection at Yorkshire Sculpture Park in Wakefield, UK.
