ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This artwork is a uniquely designed helical spiral shape, hand-welded by Melissa, and is made using solid steel square bar. This the second edition of the small steel spiral (the first edition was sold to a private art collector and was also featured on the main marketing for the Swell Sculpture Festival in 2021 - shown on the exhibition catalogues, bus stops and posters across Australia). This spiral design is part of Melissa's body of work, and she has created largescale spiral sculptures, both in timber reaching 6 metres in length, and a solid steel spiral sculpture spanning 4 metres high/wide. THE MEANING: "This artwork is about how our energy moves through life, spiraling up and down, through highs and lows, flowing infinitely. Our very own DNA is made with the helical spiral, as is many elements in nature. As we exist in nature, flowing with energy, and as we connect with each other, it creates an infinite flow of energy and unity - the very essence of life itself flowing through us." Size: Approx 600mm height x 600 width x 600mm depth, approx 15kgs in weight Note: This is the second version of the small steel spiral series and has very minor improvements/variations to the photoshoot above.
