orb, 2019
Glass, crystal, pianola paper, wire
300 x 300 x 300 mm
Finalist Toorak Sculpture Prize 2019
The transparency of paper, the play with light, the complexity of glass, the hidden gleam of copper within an old electrical cable. This piece is part of an ongoing exploration. Using both simple and complex technologies – binding, soldering, grinding – these disparate materials combine to form a surprising and beautiful wholeness.
pod light, 2019
Copper. tea bag. paper
400 x 240 x 180 mm
An old coil of copper, when in reverse, opens to form an organic pod structure. I had a pile of tea bag strips from a previous artwork which called out to be woven within the copper.
(Tea bag strips have surprising strength due to their polypropylene content).

Wire. glass. violin strings. paper, found objects
250 x 250 x 230 mm
