Dying red giant
2009 |
','Image'))
|
| I have made an enclosure for a spinning top and customised the top with a small magnet on its tip, the motor that sits above the spinning top also has a magnet attached to it making the top spin forever relentlessly. This reminded me of a star taken for granted like owe sun, the top also lights up but this light will die one day and become dark but its mass will say the same like a stars mass stays the same once it becomes a black hole.
A dieing red giant is a star that has almost come to the end of its life. |

Pillar of potential
2008 |
','Image'))
|
| This piece has 2 high powered magnets that are attracting and polarising each other this enables the wire to tension because of the magnetic force and so the gap that the magnets have between them is bridged by force alone. In this work I felt that the art it the gap, but without the magnets the gap is lost within a area. |

Tread-wheel
2008 |
','Image'))
|
| The worlds surface is a running ground so putting a wheel on a tread mill is no more ludicrous than a human running upon one.
In this piece I was looking at how more dynamic a wheel is than a human being, it is as if the tread mill has been created for a wheel rather than for people. After the humour of the piece wore off I realised that the wheel seemed depressed being stuck in this continues cycle, its almost like a wheel hell, its last days should not be spent as a kinetic sculpture but should be spent ploughing fields and being constructive for the human economy. |

Oak on oak action
2008 |
','Image'))
|
| Over the summer season I observed farmers grooming and maintaining their land, I found this brilliant to watch but the care had a sinister nature to it because the living crop that the farmers grow becomes food for the masses.
This made me think how I could show this nature/nurture in a sculpture and I came up with this piece.
The frame of the piece is made from oak as well as the blade that sits over the potted plant which is an oak sapling, both the sculpture and oak sapling lay dormant in winter because of the lack of sun light (the sculpture runs on solar energy).
When the summer comes round the blade starts to spin and the tree starts to grow, eventually the tree will get too tall and the blade will cut the sapling back down. |
