Steel tank base, 170cm. diameter.
Several years ago I acquired this base of an old badly rusted steel tank and the pattern of rust and aged zinc oxide fueled my imagination. This sculpture has had several lives with, first Safety Tape, followed by Military Braid and house plans on architectural drafting film and back lit. I imagined a wasteland and despoiled country, compromised by Colonisation and an ever creeping Urbanisation and overuse of the lands natural resources.
