etched into
flat copper
plates shaped
like surfboards,
– cut-away,
bent, lifted
and animated
to form a three
dimensional,
sculptural space
that is encircled
by a set of
broken fabric
sails, which
co-exist as
waves for
the surfers
to ride on.

Large–format

and fabric
sculptures.

Imagery from
the Etruscans
and Ancient
