Alison Wilding
Ambit (1994)
Plexiglas
1414 Monterey, 1st floor
A plexiglas cone taller than a person contains another cone, inverted, with a frosted finish which was achieved by rubbing it with pumice. It also contains a red plexiglass ball, which sits below floor level on a false floor.

The installation takes advantage of natural light, as the elements look different from different positions. At times it seems that the red sphere has been cut off at floor level rather than dropped to a lowered platform. At other times a red glow hits the wall.

The scale is important since this is the only element in a large gallery. The title word, "Ambit," means "an area within which something or someone exists, acts, or has influence or power."
