Miracle or Evil appears as an elementary sequence that is accompanied by a collaborative score with composer and musician Steve Beresford (commissioned by Op. 50), in which the sparse melodic notes appear to nominate the spatial direction of Dawood’s biomorphic bust. The kaleidoscopic 3D graphic swivels about and turns over in space as though in freefall, in a measured act of creative spontaneity. Crucially, Wilson described his own work as an “attempt to break down conditioned associations. To look at the world in a new way, with many ideas recognized as models or maps, and no one model elevated to the truth”. These sentiments take shape in Dawood’s sculptural portrait, acting as the blueprint for the facial construct that becomes the basis for the animation.
