I
started this small sculptural assemblage just over a week ago. I got time today to finish it. The design lines are deliberately simple. I wanted the materials to speak for themselves: the shape of the plowshare point; the rust; the contrasting shiny stainless steel wire and recycled thick aluminium plate; and
oak timber from a dismantled piano. The plowshare point has sat in the rust bank for over five years just waiting for the right moment.
The following photos are of the finished piece photographed with the Glasshouse Mountains in the background.

I think the piece is simple but beautiful - but you need to love rust and found objects.
Very satisfying.
ReplyDeleteHi P - the combination of rust and stainless has a certain simple satisfying beauty. B
