“Spivak installs a new atmosphere within the vitrine, wherein components of time and memory cloud and evaporate. The interior tiles have been cast and their surfaces sensitised with photo chemicals, allowing a subterranean crystallisation to manifest in an otherwise lightless environment.

The minimalism experienced in his work is meditative, as the work evolves over time, performing the measured nature of memory.
