Jack Strange

‘Spinning Beach Ball of Death’, 2007, Pencil Crayon, Card, Wood, Motor A friend suggested I look at Jack Strange a few years ago, describing his Mac Book piece, a led ball resting on said computer's letter G on the key pad. Probably after seeing this piece I always thought about making a work of or around the colour wheel of death, also from the Apple tree of creations ( no pun intended). Due to the universal annoyance of this symbol, it is not surprising that Strange himself has come up with a work reflecting the frustration that this spinning emblem inflicts.
