vortex, painted steel and plastic thread, 2010

This work was included as one of 33 works in the 2010 Yering Station Sculpture Exhibition and Awards.

…a funnel to another frame of mind,
a new dimension of time and space
– posing a question of perspective and courage

The work was installed on site from a 'flat pack' metal frame and reels of plastic thread. Once the frame was assembled and stacked in place the threading process begun and continued over the next day and a half.

The work was installed for 2 months and it was interesting to note that the red thread faded to a terra cotta over this period.

thanks goes to:
Kenwalls P/L of Wollongong for their assistance in the fabrication of the frame
Wendy Dening who assisted with the onsite installation of the work
