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 inspired by British sculptor Barbara Hepworth. She made sculpture in response to the landscape that she loved and explored the relationship between the human figure and landscape. Every work she made was either a figure she saw or a sensation she had.
An understanding and familiarity with a landscape promotes a sense of security. Our response to landscape is a fundamental to the feeling of being at home.
