A group of six separate sculptures.

Five pieces composed of 3 aluminium tubes 152 cm high x 4 cm diameter wound with 0.012” nickel wire, in two different spatial arrangements on base / turntable; one 3 column piece of same dimensions is wound with 0.018” copper wire.

There is a critical moment in the making of a work at which one is aware of its own intrinsic life. It is as if the work itself has reached a certain level of energy, or a frequency at which it begins to resonate. It is at this point that an object ceases to be an object, becoming a system of flow, a dynamic pattern, an event.
