what's new?
New work. Speckstein. Letting the stone guide me. Probably abstract.
Form XXI, 'Allure', 2024. Rose alabaster. SOLD
Contemplating how to integrate this piece of raw stone into a revised base for 'Anchored' to show-off her wonderful lats!
Flipped for a different perspective.
Playing about with base materials for 'Accomplished II', or maybe 'Violet'?
I rather wonder what Brancusi would have thought of Dan Flavin's 1963 dedication to him - arrogance?
A fine stone form atop a reflective surface that adds remarkable depth placed on a substantial carved wood base. Going to use a similar language with select forms from Women.
Super inspired by this piece - big chunk of carved wood, simple shaped marble, reflective metal disc in support of the star attraction.
Brancusi's use of stone and wood is so perfect - like they can't exist apart.
The Master, Constantin Brancusi - it's all about the bas(e)! Utterly inspired visiting the George Pompidou Centre in Paris!
Picasso often used found objects to construct 3D works from which he painted his masterpieces.
Always astonished by the gifts the stone has hidden inside!
Trying out floral sculpting techniques having been inspired by various examples.
You have to get in quick; this one was broken down (not by nature) within 24hrs.
'Fulfilling', 03/24.
A few of these are popping up in my local woodlands. So nice to be engaging with nature again.

220328. 'In-between', site wood, Zugersee.
I wonder how many notice this?
220321. 'Sheltered', site wood & stone, Zugersee.
I love that it mimics the Rigi.
220315. 'Refuge', site wood & stone, Zugersee.
At a glance, would you think nature, or (my) nurture?

between junctions, 2011, au
'Between Junctions', a sculpture & performance work responding to the brief, 'self'; references the thoracic spine, between the neck & back junctions.
The work's title points to my own junction & pondering next steps.
Perhaps a new journey was to begin?
Comprised of 12 vertebra and intervening discs, increasing in size from top to bottom.
All found materials, wood scaled to vertebra size, electrical wiring depicting cord & nerves, and cable ties as bony processes.
Steel as 'backbone'.
Exhibited in our group student show, the work was later sold.
Deconstructed installation referring to the performance piece.
Outside the square, 2011, au
Using 25 hand-pressed, moulded, fired clay pieces, suspended by copper wire with adjustable aluminium fixing, to a steel frame with square base & top.
'Outside the Square' nods to my character, the odd combination of materials & form, & my inspiration, Leonardo's 'Last Supper' & the vanishing point.
Selected in an open call for a popular local art show.
