Unobtainium: a door handle
Reprogramming a door handle with the qualities of the Surrealist art movement: Exploring scale in molecules lead me to the word Unobtanium. Used with humour and irony, and defined as a substance having the exact high test properties required for a piece of hardware, but not obtainable either because it cannot exist or because technology is insufficiently advanced to procure it. It plays on ‘unobtainable’ and the suffix ‘ium’ used at the end of elements (e.g. uranium). I chose to cast in ice as my ‘Unobtanium’. The crystallised structure is similar to a hexagonal structure. The repetition is not visible to the human eye and embodies the idea of the ‘Unobtainable’ as something undiscovered but hiding in plain sight.
