Verticality Series - I

The first in a series focussing on the Vertical - 40x15x10cm; just the beginning of an exploration with much trial and error to come ... 

Here I'm exploring an alternative to fixing the sculpture on a plinth by incorporating its base/foot into the overall form. Quite a challenge it turned out to be: finding the balance between making it a functional base whilst finding harmony within the entire form; making it one; a cohesive, harmonious whole.

Also an opportunity to explore air and light, for which the vertical seems to be fertile ground - the balance between the negative and positive space.

The question now poses itself whether to leave it white or to transform it with some colour? To colour or not to colour ... Purity and serenity versus an added je ne sais quoi?
