ONE THREAD WINDS
Materials: Gambier limestone
Gambier Limestone, from South Australia, is composed of fragments of bryozoa or lace coral and shell deposited more than 15 million years ago, when a large part of southern Australia was covered by a warm sea. The shell debris has compacted over time to form a soft porous limestone that retains a matt finish. Occasionally larger shells and sharks teeth are found in the stone.

We understand a painting as a two dimensional representation of something and are generally content to look with our eyes, but sculpture is a three dimensional thing which triggers a desire to touch. Why do we want to touch artworks? Is it to verify what our eye sees, to understand the material, to connect with the artist, a desire for the unexpected or simply to break the rules? SOMETIMES is part if a series of sculptures that are intended to be touched. The pieces are designed for tactile rather than visual impact, incorporating silky smooth or textural finishes, curved planes that sit nicely in the hand and small nubs for tactile interest.
