This sculpture is made from
recycled timber by reusing found wooden materials. The old timber venetian
blinds and discarded different bits and pieces are given a new lease of life by
transforming old junk into an artistic creation. This environmentally friendly
approach results in a green sculpture.
The overall shape of this
sculpture is based on one of the five Platonic solids, the hexahedron (cube).
To rethink the geometric possibilities and to introduce a variation on a cube
theme, two corners of the cube have been truncated, and the cube rotated in
space, stood on its end and finished off with a pyramid shaped spire on top. |

Based on the character of these materials, a
geometric arrangement was a natural choice - easy, logical and allowing all
elements to fit together like a handmade three dimensional jigsaw puzzle. The
different wood grains and original textures have been preserved and further
enhanced by the application of different coloured acrylic paint stains. The
colours are earthy and in keeping with a naturalistic look, nothing artificial
or pretentious, just playful and uplifting. |
