Enamelled copper wire wound aluminium cylinders.

Commissioned by the Milton Keynes Development Corporation for the Midsummer Arcade in Central Milton Keynes.

The sculpture is made from 23 aluminium tubes which have had their surfaces altered and then wound with enamelled copper wire. The tubes hang from a concealed beam beneath the false ceiling of the Midsummer Arcade, forming a curved circular plane which reflects light. Each tube rotates separately around its own axis creating a 3 dimensional surface in constant motion.
