Tower 23


Ladle cast bricks
115 H x 23 W x 23 D cm


In geometry there are often poetic patterns in numbers that recur with uncanny repetition. Prime numbers have that special singularity, and 23 is one that always resonates. This work is from my exploration of sequenced patterns in engineering glass structures for sculpture and architecture using industrial waste.
