Kowhai Branch - Canvas Wire Sculpture .. (21733)

I have always loved the delicacy and colour of the Kowhai flowers, and the pods were some of the first that attracted me in my art practice, such fabulous shapes and tones. In this sculpture I have blended those colours and forms into one, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

The new Canvas/Wire series comes from a desire to push the 2D boundary. These works sit closely at the intersection between 2D and 3D, being cut canvas it is flat .. then with wire and hanging points to hold it out from the wall, giving movement and shadow. Form, surface and shadow are an integral part of my artworks.
