Philip Beesley, Erratics Net, 1998.
Erratics Net is a interlinked wire fabric mounted on a glacier-scoured terrain in Nova Scotia. Layers of new strata floating just above the surface of the land are developed within the foam-like filigree of this textile installation. The geotextile was developed through recursive digital modeling guiding final hand-worked production.
