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.

I am pleased to be included in Reconnected: a recovery story at Museum of Art and Culture Lake Macquarie, an exhibition of work created by local artists during lockdown. I have three pieces in the exhibition, Two Threads (stone), Two Threads (red) and Two Threads (white) . The first is a limestone sculpture based on a celtic knot, the others are linocut prints of the same design.
The exhibition runs until 11 October 2020 at MAC Lake Macquarie Lake Street Booragul NSW
