Jesse Ede - Transit of Venus

About the Item

Transit of Venus is a sculptural design piece which formed part of Of Space and Time, Jesse Ede’s most recent solo exhibition with Southern Guild. The monumental body of work was a poetic contemplation of man’s place in the universe and facilitated a deep engagement with the materiality of stone and metal. The work was constructed as a geometric configuration of overlapping circles. Ede employs the circle – a shape with no conceivable beginning or end – as an apt visual model for the concept of eternity. Ede has developed his own unique process of open-cast smelting his metal forms. The metal is heated, eventually melting at the substance’s liquefaction point. The molten material is then poured into an open cast Ede designed out of ceramic fibre board which is used to line the interior of ceramic kilns. The heat-resistance of the unbound mould allows the metal to cool more slowly and the substance to gradually dilate upon a larger surface area.
