Alice Aycock's Turbulence series is part of her Twister series which is a collection of large-scale sculptures that explore the relationship between movement, architecture, and the environment.  Aycock stated the Twister series inspired by the movement of air currents and weather patterns, as well as the swirling shapes of galaxies and other celestial bodies. The sculptures are designed to be site-specific and to interact with their surroundings in complex and dynamic ways. Some of the Twisters are installed outdoors, where they can be seen from a distance and are subject to the vagaries of weather and light, while others are installed indoors, where they can be experienced up close and interact with the architectural features of the space.
 

Almost as complex as weather patterns is the fabrication process of Alice Aycock's Twister series, it requires advanced technological tools and expertise. The process begins with the creation of a 3D digital model, which is used to generate 2D fabrication drawings. These drawings are then used to create the metal panels that will form the basis of the sculpture.

To achieve the complex twisting shapes, the metal panels are cut and shaped using 3D fabrication tools such as laser cutters and water jets. These tools allow for precise cuts and curves, ensuring that each piece fits together perfectly. Once the metal panels have been cut and shaped, they are then assembled into the final sculpture.
