All my Pasts and Futures - Montalto Sculpture Prize 2017
Winner: People’s Choice Award
Event: Montalto Sculpture Prize 2017
Materials: Forged mild steel, copper, white paint
While exploring the manipulation of the linear plane, this piece is conceived through continuing questioning of my personal space on the ‘world stage’ as artist and as an individual.
Using the draping of fabric to reference artistic movements through antiquity to the contemporary, two large free standing forged copper ‘curtains’ frame and transfigure the landscape into a stage.
The physical challenge in making the piece is a performance in itself.
I forge metals to imbue fluidity, transparency, and levitation; my public works define, announce and guard physical space while privately exploring notions of identity and cultural connection.
This piece is intended to entice the community to perform, express and share stories to enhance pathos, logos and ethos.
The corrugated aesthetic of the material belonging to Australian vernacular, curtains drawn, the next act is about to begin.
