Describing, Quantifying And Analysing Space Using Length.

Investigating the Imperial systems Natural Units that can be found directly on the human body.

I have always been fascinated by the concept of space and its immensity. I find this notion of infinite space awe-inspiring, leaving me with a sense of insignificance due to its vast enormity. As a result, I am constantly finding ways to mentally make sense of my surrounding environment. By assigning boundaries to areas of space I am able to quantify and make tangible an otherwise formless expanse, allowing me to appreciate rather than be overwhelmed by it.

This book works in conjunction to the wooden tool. The book contains images depicting each of the Natural Units numerically along with a photograph of the body part used to measure that length in relation to the environment.

‘Space is the hollow space bounded by a surrounding cover. And therefore it is necessarily exactly large as the thing that it takes up.’

(Aristotelian concept)
