Gavel 2016
Works benefit from being separated from the land, to accommodate them. The addition of a plinth makes an outdoor room. Steel sculptures corrode from the ground. The concrete serves as a moisture barrier.

Some works hold themselves from a distance and from up close. Some works are only legible up close and some works are only legible from a distance. Gavel welcomes us as we arrive at Wamboin. There’s a large welcome party here. The sculptures are always on duty.
Gavel on ‘Prairie’ tinted plinth.
Tinting the concrete warms the natural cool grey of the concrete, helping it to blend with the landscape colour.
All the sculptures have a strong relationship with the horizontal. The plinth allows this aspect to be better expressed. The plinth aids legibility of the work.
