Cable cuts, energetics, and gunk.

Nina Canell explores the potential of inconspicuous or hidden objects and materials. Cut-open power and fiber optic cables, unwound wire spools, and exposed electrical lines demonstrate her interest in technical advances, physical properties, and their imperceptible processes.

The artist makes use of found items and used objects and transforms them into sculptural arrangements. Her processual works evoke a sense of stored knowledge and simultaneously refer to the invisible, immaterial transfer of data. By revealing hidden things and incorporating them into sometimes complex, sometimes simple installations, she questions our everyday experience in a way that is both serious and ironic.
