Pole to Pole Sculpture

The inspiration for this piece comes from my move from the northern hemisphere to New Zealand in the southern hemisphere, hence the title Pole to Pole. It explores equilibrium and balance and magnetic opposites. It references the New Zealand landscape, islands, earthquakes, and the movement of the earth. It is also references environmental issues, specifically climate change and the melting of icebergs. The plywood for this sculpture is stacked in layers to create horizontal lines that oppose the vertical axis of the whole structure. In the same process the magnets are used as opposing forces that represent the opposing forces of the northern and southern poles. The opposition creates movement which gradually settles into a place of stillness, reflecting the idea that although we may have opposing forces pushing us in different directions we eventually find equilibrium.
