Stringybark & Mild Steel

SOLD

The object behind the vision for Sacrum is portrayed in this series of photographs. It was found very near where the tree stood, and where the sculpture was created.

Thank you.

Made from the centre slab of a gnarly, old and twisted Stringybark, the wood itself greatly contributed to the creative process. Carved green, the stresses in the material released as it dried, giving the work it’s distinctive quality.

The thin steel support flexes with the smallest vibration, the lightest breeze, the softest touch - a truck going down the street, a child brushing by it or a summer breeze will trigger its pendulum motion.

Just as the tree that it once was a part of, swayed for decades , weathering storms, tremors, falling neighbours and passing wildlife.
