Mica Metal Flower Stone   1984

9" x 20" x 16"

Mica, sand-cast aluminium, slate.

Purchased by the Contemporary Arts Society and now in the Collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney.

In the late 1970’s I made a series of clay forms roughly based on stones but also more importantly concerned with holding and feeling. In 1981 I cast them into bronze and aluminium. A couple of years later I began to use leaves of natural mica, stacking them onto springs or cores of wire to form mobile and changeable organic shapes.
