Text excerpt : "Ephemerality and chance drove the creation of Pendulum as two giant sunflowers, grown by Dore, were dipped in charred bone black casein and swung back and forth. Each swing, mimicking the regulated motion of a pendulum, captured the essence of measured existence and the enduring cadence of the universe. The heliotropic behaviour of a sunflower carries the movement of its own lifecycle through a different tempo; guided by the movement of the sun as it ripens and matures to seed. A dialogue emerges between the interplay of controlled rhythm and natural movement, speaking to the balance of life and death. The sunflower’s journey and the pendulum’s motion intersect in a constellation of pigments.”
