If many structures in our world are made of small 'building units' could growth happen through a reproduction of additional building units, or directly due to the growth in size of the building units themselves? Or, alternatively, could it be that the distance between each unit may progressively increase, resulting in a growing structure similarly to the current theory of the expansion of the universe?

Getting Closer and Getting Further Away was developed for the MA Fine Art degree show of Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. It is intended to explore possible experiences with ideas such as growth, expansion and Infinity often based on theories and observations such as Leibniz's paradox of infinite series, Mandelbrot's development of the Fractals Geometry and Hubble's observation that the universe is not static, but it is expanding.
