fill in the blanks







Think about space, escaping, hiding spaces, building a house on a moving object. thriving in departure zones like bus stations and airports. standing still in a dust storm or at the top of Martin Place. waiting watching. think about closing your eyes and imagine running so fast. you breathe fast, start gasping for air and you haven't moved a muscle. lying at the bottom of the pool and looking up through the water. diving. listening to your breath. closing your eyes.







then think about construction/fabrication/make up masks/costumes/houses.







games/ ladders/interiors/superfluous decoration and the definition of O.T.T . and imagine how much you can hide under that distraction, colourful beautiful creative mess.

Floating Sculpture Pictures September 2011




The Project of making a floating sculpture was finally realised in 2010 and completed in September 2011. It was a large perspex box (restricted to the largest size I can fit in my car) with thousands of small holes drilled through the side, to allow a threaded suspended world of particles within. I organised the mass movement of particles to be in two heavy concentrated areas, and spaced out in-between this was a subtle way to create the illusion of movement, in particular, the movement of rising, floating. This was draft 4 of the project, the next step will be to make a floor to ceiling room wide installation (permanent installation) where the outside distraction of the perspex box dissolves. I will have to work from a ladder and I will make a form look like bubbles, an effervescent floating effect.
