The whale tail is symbolic within many cultures, particularly Maori, symbolising sensitivity, strength, protection and wisdom, whilst encompassing peace, friendship and companionship.
This work is a portrayal of not only the complex influences of man, but also of the status of Nature itself within the modern world today.
Representational of water and movement, each of the 207 layered glass has a cross section of the design cut only on one edge. The cleanly hand cut lines of the glass reflects and refracts the light as you move while viewing the sculpture, creating a movement of the image within the glass.
2009, Hand Cut Float Glass, Galvanised Steel frame and oiled Railway Sleepers. H x 144, W x 110, D x 110cm.
