DAVID WATKINS - RHS WISLEY EXHIBITION AND COMMISSION David has had a solo show that runs until the end of March at RHS Wisley. He has recently finished a commission that he he is just about to install in New Jersey. This is a scale model of Cube Cloud Trilogy the finished piece will stand 4.2metres high. He particularly proud of overcoming technical challenges with this piece - it is quite unique and imposing. INSPIRATION The rain panels give the illusion of the rain falling from the cube whilst the cube seems to float effortlessly above the ground. There are very few geometric forms in the natural world on a macro scale, so the cube is inevitably linked to Humans and Human intervention; I see the cube as a symbol of mans manipulation of the world; from building blocks to geometric patterns, from cities to computer screens. Although we are able utilise the Earths resources and alter the natural world, the Earth still dictates the major systems upon which we rely. We can modify the crops but we can’t make it rain. ‘Cube Cloud’ is my conceptual homage to the rain, one of the most fundamental and life giving of all the Earths systems; it is not just a representation of a cloud but a very Human symbol of thanks and reverence
