Chaos SAS is a large outdoor sculpture created by Jedd Novatt in two thousand thirteen. It is located outdoors. Made of stainless steel, the sculpture has a sleek silver surface that reflects sunlight and the environment around it. The work stands approximately fourteen and a half feet tall, eight and three-quarters feet wide, and nearly fourteen feet deep, taller than the palm trees around it. It is constructed from open cube forms, giving the impression of four large boxes stacked in a dynamic and unstable arrangement. Each cube looks like the frame or skeleton of a box, made only of edges, like scaffolding, with the walls and interior left hollow. The corners and edges are all visible, but no solid faces connect them. These geometric forms are built from sturdy stainless steel bars. The lower two cubes are placed more or less vertically, one directly above the other, forming the base of the sculpture. The two cubes on top, however, shift dramatically in position. Instead of continuing the vertical stack, they are tilted and placed side by side. One leans out to the left, the other to the right, as if they’ve slid off center or been gently tipped. None of the cubes’ corners line up. Some sides appear to float above others, while others dip under or extend sideways. This creates a sense of imbalance and motion, as though the boxes are tumbling or about to fall. Yet, they are frozen mid-motion, capturing a moment of chaos held in stillness. This careful imbalance gives the sculpture a feeling of weightlessness, despite its heavy metal construction. The open forms allow air and light to pass through, softening the mass of the sculpture and allowing viewers to move around and look through it. From a distance, the sculpture might resemble a precarious stack of industrial crates. Up close, it reveals a more poetic balance between control and unpredictability.
