The Globe

1996 – Steel, electrical circuits and PLC controller, lead-light, mixed media – 5.5 m x 4.2 m x 4.2 m

This was the first permanent public artwork I made, and was commissioned for the Southgate centre that is at the heart of the Melbourne Arts precinct just south of the CBD . It is a dynamic and unfolding work that cycles through many lighting states and physical positions using chance and mechanics. This was another case of a work that was initially made as a temporary work, but became a permanent one due to its popularity. 

The Banksia Gates

2010 – Stainless Steel – 2m x 2m x 40cm

This image shows one of two gates that I designed and made for the Frankston Botanical Gardens. The insignia of the gardens is the flower of the Coastal Banksia - the gates employ the much more recognised and evocative cones of the tree with the unmistakably “mouths”. This is an example of a work of mine that has a utilitarian aspect to it. And as with all of the examples provided here (apart from the bronze castings), it is a work that I designed, fabricated and installed personally.
