Deflect – 2.7m

Corten Steel Sculpture
270x40cm
Hand Fabricated

Suitable for outdoor placement

Deflect is an exercise in asymmetrical balance.
The industrial integrity of the base and top are offset by the fluid turning of the centre, exploring the relationship between strength and flexibility, function versus form.

The offset centre of gravity calls into question the apparent illusion of its secureness,
a reminder of the impermanence of stability.

Geometric sculptures in steel.
My career as a boilermaker working with steel has been a large part of my development as a disciplined maker.
More recently my work has moved away from the industrial environment and I find that creating sculpture allows
me to further explore and enjoy my ideas with mild steel, cor-ten and stainless steel without boundaries and
limitations. Time spent with a pencil lost in a sketchbook, or in my Macedon studio between the welder and
grinder, fill me with excitement and unlimited possibilities. My work explores simple geometric shapes,
evocative lines and abstract forms. Robust yet fluid, I seek equilibrium in my work.
