Binary bind

Sculptural work exhibited at Paper Global exhibition. Brett Alexander is inspired to create with paper yarn. Paper thread proves a unique material for him to utilise his extensive skills in textile craft techniques. The found objects Alexander combines with paper thread in this work titled "Binary Bind", are largely turnip graters purchased from an agricultural supplies store in Central Europe. Alexander likes to purchase unusual 'souvenirs' when he travels; agricultural, hardware and auto supplies stores seem to him to hold a vast collection of ready-made art objects just waiting to be subverted through the integration of paper thread
