The Crack
Wire Sculpture
97cm x 29cm x 25cm
I am increasingly concerned by how the Earth is being destroyed by human activity. THE CRACK depicts this through the representation of the destruction of a tree. The tree is out of balance. The tipping point has been reached; the point of no return. The recycled wire of the piece highlights the danger.
