'thin slice' cabinet by peter marigold, 2008
peter marigold - thin slice 'the title refers to a principle in psychology that suggests that humans are capable of
discerning vast amounts of information about a situation from a relatively small amount of data – ‘thin slicing’.
in preparing the thin slice cabinet, marigold laid out the sections of wood in the sequence in which they were cut,
revealing the growth patterns within the tree – and suggesting that this growth period has been slowed down.
for marigold, thin slice continues his interest in how altered geometry has a potent effect on our perception
of the world.
