Chaos and evolution lends itself to the ‘spring cleaning’ of things that our contemporary methods of living do not consider practical or necessary and manifests itself as the relegation of tradition to museums. Fantasies and fears of the unknown once so strong a sensation, particularly in childhood where a void in our knowledge awaits the conception of our ultimate unease, are now automatically catered for. Universal and standardized foes, collective scapegoats and logically realistic enemies instantly occupy our psyche whenever we require.
In 'on the edge a wood' a pseudo-computer graphic of three-dimensional space distinguished by light disassembles our idea of what we knew of this phenomenon representing the decline of the unknown as a phenomenon. What we now have ahead of us can be defined in terms of the apparently comprehensive idea we have of ourselves.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Chaos and evolution lends itself to the ‘spring cleaning’ of things that our contemporary methods of living do not consider practical or necessary and manifests itself as the relegation of tradition to museums.

Universal and standardized foes, collective scapegoats and logically realistic enemies instantly occupy our psyche whenever we require. In 'on the edge a wood' a pseudo-computer graphic of three-dimensional space distinguished by light disassembles our idea of what we knew of this phenomenon representing the decline of the unknown as a phenomenon.

my name is Toby Short, I undertake commissioned public art, design furniture and create figurative sculptures. I am interested in the space in-between things. In that which defies our immediate perception. My work concerns the discovery of something integral to us all but which is hard to grasp. I am particularly fascinated in the way we view the world via the machines we have created, In the way that computers portray life. The development of this idea I call ‘fractal mentality’. ‘fractal mentality’ can be seen in some sculptures below.
