Made almost entirely from tightly tangled, salvaged, black electrical cables Furball (mk2) is an ambiguous form resembling a huge lump of coal (or perhaps a brain, a head, an infestation of snakes or countless other possibilities). Its dark and complex aesthetic implies something sinister and impossible to decode. Does it refer to our relationship with power and reliance on fossil fuels? or the internal goings on of our minds?

The original Furball (2018) was returned to me after several years on Granite Island in South Australia as part of temporary, outdoor sculpture trail.

Being the first of my sculptures in this material and technique it required some TLC to return it to it’s former glory. This was a way of me paying respect to the work, the materials and the ideas I am exploring through it.

This will be the final work I ever do in this material and technique due to strain in my hands!
