Cadence is an exploration of innumerable small units, pools, membranes and clusters that gather,
disperse and reform like fragments of a world in constant process. It traces rhythms, pulse, repetitions
and continuities of worlds unfolding beyond immediate perception.
The work emerges from an encounter with the architectures of mycelial progression and
transformation. What appears as a surface becomes a threshold into what lies beneath: shifting fields,
interconnected consciousness and evolving landscapes of inner worlds.
Here, pattern is not simply repetition, but behaviour. Each unit participates in a larger order,
contributing to an ongoing process of formation, dissolution and renewal. Cadence considers these
inner landscapes as living territories, worlds within worlds moving according to rhythms that precede
us, extend beyond us and remain largely unseen.
