Z is the moment where one swoons, drawn into the grips of a presence, as familiar as it is unexplained. The project analyses spaces, objects, and situations where Z threatens to exist. The project searches for Z in the way one may follow a sound, not knowing what it is, searching for its source. The project uses alleged recordings of Z as the conceptual basis of a sculptural practice involving the making of objects and spaces.enSculptureRyder JonesZInstallationExegesisOpenAccess2016-02-14
