These small sculptural works are an investigation into colour and production of new forms by using a minimum of elements combined with the act of binding. I wanted to examine the changes of the original spool as it is transformed by its relationship to the bound colour and the shape it creates as it curves across the surface.

I have made these over a number of years, investigating colours and form relating to landscape and architecture. Some have responded to specific sites and conditions. A series of them were shortlisted in the Deakin Small Sculpture Award 2011.
