feathered edge: a new installation by ball-nogues studio
MOCA pacific design center, los angeles
july 26 - november 15, 2009
the los angeles based design firm ball-nogues studio recently unveiled their latest installation at the MOCA
pacific design center. the site-specific installation is made from over 21 miles of coloured string hung from
a double-height skylight to create a colourful sculptural environment. ‘feathered edge’ is the third work by
ball–nogues studio in their ‘suspensions’ series, which investigates the convergence of digital technology
and hand-craft techniques. like the other works in the ‘suspensions’ series, this design modulates space
without utilizing solid forms. the length of each string is calculated and attached by hand to a mesh using
a method inspired by traditional latch-hook rug making. the piece is first designed using computer software
and in the case of ‘feathered edge’, the colouring and cutting of the string was also mechanized. the show
was curated by brooke hodge and coordinated by alma ruiz.
