Spectre
Tin Sheds Gallery, Sydney, 1995.
This installation originated from observations of massive
Hindu temples in southern India festooned with bamboo scaffolding
to facilitate restoration. The work was concerned with charging
volumetric space with a palpable identity.
By displacing the negotiable areas of the gallery interior
with industrial scaffolding that extended to the upper pitch
of the roof, Sims defined a skeletal simulacrum of the building's
outward shape as a core physical presence inside.
