More information is available in the Virtual Wing dedicated to the early abstract works. Click HERE to visit that Wing.

Note that none of the shaped works ahve been included here.

Also a note regarding the 2 works, Full Speed and Study in Purple. Originally they began life as silkcreen prints. There was always the intention of creating painted images based on their colour intensities. This did not take place until 2013 when they were created and included in the exhibition at the Macquarie University Gallery exhibition and shortly afterwards at Charles Nodrum Gallery in Richmond.

Street viewing 24/7.



 

These objects were created back in 1988/9 as 3 dimensional works for the Transformer: Field of Change touring exhibition at that time.

In 1990 when the Armoured Car was made and used in performance, they became the ordinance/ armourments to accompany and protect that vehicle.

Now in the current potitical situation they have morphed into something like an Early Warning Defence System.

Theree are more objects to accompany this group and anyone interested can view them in the 3D Transformers Virtual Wing.
