Merlin is a single suspended vessel. This has been suspended from an oak and stainless steel wall-mount. The vessel hangs from a fine stainless steel rope. A frame made with woven beehive wire supports the paperpulp vessel.
This is the Skylark three vessel composition wall-mounted. The wall-mount is made using an oak offcut from a local sawmill with curved stainless steel rod held within. The vessels are poised for movement on the curved stainless steel branches. The paperpulp vessels are held in frames made with aluminium waste and CDs.
A single paperpulp vessel held in a woven searope frame suspended with stainless steel. Stainless steel branches, vessels and frames can be added, so this single vessel can be a starting point.
Four suspended paperpulp vessels. Held in frames, each made with different discarded materials: woven searope, beehive wire, nylon jewellery offcuts and aluminium waste. Suspended from stainless steel branches.
The branches have been arranged to create a vertical form. The branches can be rearranged as the hanging system is adaptable.
