I displayed my die on a white square board, on grey tiles, in front of barred railings. The most apparent relationships between the work and the site are the similarities in colour and shape.

 

Apart from that, I also like that the board is much larger than the die and almost the same colour, which kind of camouflages the work into the site. The difference in scale is also funny because from a distance, it looks like a cube on a piece of paper, but at a closer look, its a die, which carries the concepts of probability and chance and data.

 

Compositionally, I like the vertical bars, because it breaks up the squareness of everything else in the site. 

 

Someone also mentioned during the zoom critique, that it made them uncomfortable because it is placed at the edge of the balcony, and it feels like it could be blown off the edge and lost.

EXPERIMENTS

I initially tried to place the die in circular things, to off-put the cube shape. I tried rolling the die inside a truffle bowl and leave it to chance on where it in placed inside it. However, these approaches, I thought, did not visually compliment the work.
