Intended to encourage a moment of reflection in an energetic atmosphere, Nebulous was installed in a central position amongst the public at Maitreya Festival. Composed of an intricately patterned, pulsing globe mounted on a latticework tower, the glittering sphere expands with intersecting and meshing patterns into a much larger ellipsoid, before gently contracting again in an effortless cycle.
Two works featuring vertically stacked delicately balanced elements. Part of a series originally inspired by the human spine, a cascade of linked vertebrae, such a blend of durability and vulnerability, versatility and limitation, motion effected by finding and upsetting equilibriums, centring and then offsetting centre's of gravity.
New interactive sculpture at the Yarra Valley winery - Murmuring, to create or reflect on a murmuration, movement of the one, massed becoming a whole greater than the parts. Murmuring seeks the balance between independent and inter-dependent movement and the harmony that may lie there and indeed invites the viewer to create their own pattern or chaos.
