Paint on wire
25 x 35 x 25 cm
Private collection - YTL Residence
This form composed
entirely of twisted wire held together tightly at its naval (the center of the
sculpture) by a band of thicker wire. Initially, before the tentacles are
twisted, the final form was unknown to me, and as I individually twist the wire
around an unused paint brush to create the twisting tentacles, the form begins
to take shape. I then trim the stray wires to give a more solid form and then
apply a thin coat of spray paint to protect the wire from rusting and give it a
personality. There is a sort of intrigue and mystery in the process of making
these sculptures as the final form is a mystery to me during the process of
creation. Titled ribbon, it was
displayed at the Ligne Roset furniture store in
