The objects illustrated below were originally derived from electrocardiograph readings taken during tests for arrhythmia. The test involved a period of monitoring lasting 24 hours which revealed a number of irregularities - including occasions in which the heart missed a beat. The works in Cardiac Pause are lathed models taken from the graph as it records the noise of static electricity that traverses the surface of heart during the period between beats.
The ecg information particular to each pause has been scanned into a computer from printed output, lathed in a modelling application and an image extrapolated from this model.
