"Seashells have always intrigued me. From slow moving mollusc growing calcium year by year, a tasty meal, an empty home, a limestone fossil, a marble block, a sculpture."



Gone (function IV, environment) by Natalie Windsor. Made of polycotton and natural rock.

"In this place I tried to find lightness and movement in a solid and heavy material."

I am sorry about the quality of these pics - the sun wa sin entirely the wrong place!

Floating Figure by Greg Johns (South Australia). Made of corten steel

"Floating figure is from a series I started in 1991 and continue working on today. One task I set muself about this time was to produce sculpture which reflected Australia. I wanted to produce work which in appearance grew out of this place, rather than reflecting international styles. To do this, I drew on two stories, one brought into Australia at the time of European arrival, and one which preceded that arrival. I have often descrobed the resulting sculptures as being hybrid."
