Pipes, drains, gutterings: This installation was made from discarded pipes, gutterings and metal objects. It was colourful and almost comical. Underlying that external facade was a reflection on the ways we waste our most precious resource -water.

 

From tipto tip: Consists of all recycled metals and found objects collected from tips. The metals are then cast into abstract
industrial type shapes. The shadows of these then fall onto the wall to form an industrial landscape.

Spiritual Orbs explores the human search for perfection. and spirituality. The round balls symbolise the aim - the perfect sphere which in in physical reality is non possible. But what is possible in the non-physical, that is, the spiritual?

Primitive is about an imaginary culture that worships the surrounding nature, namely birch trees and fossilised rocks.

 

Deep Down This installation was part of Sculpfest 05 Vermont,USA. It is a site specific installation in an abandoned mining quarry. It is a memorial to the many, mainly Christian, miners who lived and died there. The crosses gradually sink, the flowers wilt, as do the memories fade. Eventually everything is engulfed by the enormity of the quarry tomb.

 

Fairy Ring This is a comment about how male homosexuality is perceived. The paraphenalia, multiple partners and the mostly night time activity.

 

Games not over This is a site specific installation in an old historic gym. Despite the lack of audience the basketball players, disabled in some way, either through injury or age, continue to play on, at least in their mind's eye.

 

Reefresh This was a suspended installation exploring the exotic nature and consumerism associated with the Great Barrier Reef.

 

Beach Babies: The perfect female figure is deeply embedded within our psyche. In the human species it is the female that must look good to attract a male. For some females this leads to dieting, plastic surgery or the worste case scenario - fatal anorexia. The installation is set up by the edge of the ocean and gradually eroded away, representing the changing tide of female values, which will eventually overturn the identification of beauty with physical appearance.

 

Stranded Many objects become stranded by the seashore. This installation refers to both man made and animal. Are the remains we see part of a machine or could they be partial ribs of a stranded whale.
