A sculpture based on my own bodily proportions and the Fibonacci sequence. It comprises a glass jar containing three brass rods placed on a shelf made of plate brass, spruce ply covered with linen, and a steel bracket. The rods decrease by one millimetre in diameter as they increase in height: the first rod is 1mm in diameter and 356mm long. The second is 2mm in diameter and 270mm long. The third is 3mm in diameter and 184mm—the measurement of my handspan. These measurements relate to the following Fibonacci numbers: 56, 70, 84. 1, 2, and 3 are the first three numbers in the sequence. The golden ratio, sometimes referred to as ‘the divine proportion’, is a canonical formula for aesthetic beauty, which can be derived by dividing each number of the Fibonacci series by its immediate predecessor*. The result of applying this formula is that the rods, which are unfixed, appear balanced and intentional in any way that they are positioned within the jar.
