Internal Framework for Observable Reality

In the book Timaeus, Plato presents the idea that the Universe was created to resemble a geometric progression; triangles form Platonic solids and the basic building blocks of the universe.

“a description of what is changeless, fixed and clearly intelligible will be changeless and fixed, while a description of what changes and is likely, will also change and be just likely. As being is to becoming, so is truth to belief. Therefore, in a description of the physical world, one should not look for anything more than a likely story”.
- Extract from Plato’s Timaeus

New Work at Brick Bay

Artificial Stations for Preceeding Atmospheric Movement. 2011

I recently installed a new work at Brick Bay Sculpture Trail which will be on the trail for around 2 years unless sold prior. My other work at Brick Bay; Blind Refuge is still on the trail and is just around the corner from my new pieces which creates quite an interesting conversation. More to follow soon with a short video…

Glass, Oak, Plastic, Pine, Velvet.
approx 600x600x1000 (mm).

One must travel well off the beaten track to find a place where bird life is near its primitive condition. In all parts of the mainland there have been changes by the elimination of one or more species. The change has not been altogether one of the disappearance of native birds and their replacement by introduced species. Many kinds have gone and left nothing in their place.
