These pendant lamps consisted of a suspended light, the height of which could be adjusted with a pulley system and a counterweight. This same principle is applied to the sculpture Encyclop\u00e9die d\u2019une orogen\u00e8se. In this sculpture, a series of porcelain strata representing the topography of a mountain are suspended and kept in balance with a counterweight containing hundreds of letters printed onto porcelain. Ultimately, this installation suggests a kind of metaphorical \u201clandslide\u201d that would suddenly reveal the mechanics of language, the strata of a phenomenon and the geomorphology of a space.    <\/p>\n\n<p>Porcelain, steel structure, nylon rope, hardware, 67 x 26 x 16 inches.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-6 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/wordpress2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/encyclop&#xE9;die_aproulx_01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"188\" src=\"http:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/wordpress2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/encyclop&#xE9;die_aproulx_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/wordpress2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/encyclop&#xE9;die_aproulx_02.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"189\" src=\"http:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/wordpress2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/encyclop&#xE9;die_aproulx_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-189\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/wordpress2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/encyclop&#xE9;die_aproulx_03.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"190\" src=\"http:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/wordpress2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/encyclop&#xE9;die_aproulx_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-190\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/wordpress2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/encyclop&#xE9;die_aproulx_04.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"191\" src=\"http:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/wordpress2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/encyclop&#xE9;die_aproulx_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-191\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p>Photo credit : <a href=\"http:\/\/etiennedionne.com\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00c9tienne Dionne<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Porcelain, steel structure, nylon rope, hardware, 67 x 26 x 16 inches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":862,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1674"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1674"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1674\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1675,"href":"https:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1674\/revisions\/1675"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amelieproulx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
