A series of five small sculptures made from found plant materials and paper that look botanical.

Stasis

Sculpture, variety of papers, palm fronds, cane

Stasis: a period or state of inactivity or equilibrium. Originating from my interest in paper and natural materials, Stasis developed from re-purposed, found plant matter. Dormant hollow shells of discarded palm frondage and debris that awaited rebirth into delicately balanced forms in equilibrium. Forms that took on a life of their own; passive and inactive one moment, balanced, stable and appearingly in motion the next. Materials and form working together to awaken an inner life.

An artistic orange brushstroke design forms abstract shapes on a white background. Overlaid on the design is the word "artexpress" in a sleek, modern black font. The orange brush strokes appear dynamic and free-flowing, with splatters and tapered ends.Simplified waratah flower in deep red colour with the words NSW Government in dark blue stacked underneath.
