Brief:

Design a sculpture to be dynamic and also convey a sense of unity.

Title: "Family"

I came up with several ideas of groupings based on the idea of the family. This idea was liked for the way it was viewed as offering a welcome embrace into the new site. It is orientated as if arms opened to greet the oncoming arrivals. The tallest sculpture measures 4m high and stands as if a powerful guardian to the others while the two smaller pieces measuring 2.5m and 2m high huddle closely together. The greater appearance is of an archway that is only completed by the viewer's imagination. As with all my sculptures I attempted to combine simple forms and create a visual balance that works when viewing all the way around the sculptural group. Familiar symbols are also used to maintain the thread of my base philosophy which encompasses new beginnings formed from the egg of life.
