Restart Spiral

Thirty-three brass nails in an Archimedean spiral, wrapped continuously toward a centre it never reaches. Three nails stay bare at the middle, holding a single red bead — the point every restart was circling.

• Rust linen on 60×30cm wooden panel base
• 33 antique brass upholstery tacks in Archimedean spiral formation
• Chunky cream cotton rope yarn, hand-wrapped continuously
• Two gold beads at interruption points — nails eleven and twenty-two
• One blood-red bead at the unwrapped centre
• Three bare nails at the core, deliberately left unwrapped

2cm depth · 1.2 to 1.5kg · Ready to hang

• Spiral mathematically calculated using the Archimedean formula before a single nail is placed
• 33 nails hand-hammered at precise intervals following the calculated positions
• Yarn hand-wrapped in one continuous path from nail one outward
• Centre deliberately left bare — the incompletion is structural, not accidental
• Gold and red beads placed at the mathematically significant points

14 to 16 hours of hand labour · A single, unrepeatable original

Restart Spiral is a unique, one-of-one original — not part of a numbered print run. It took 14 to 16 hours to build by hand, and the exact yarn path will not be repeated in identical form.

Each work includes a signed certificate of authenticity, care instructions, and symbolic notes written by the artist explaining the compositional and mathematical decisions within this piece.
