2020 SWELL ARTWORK – M-thirtysix, James Parrett
Like all my work, M-thirtysix started with a notion – a feeling related to the physical form of a simple arc. It continues my desire to always examine the aesthetic potential of the circular form but it is also different to all of my previous work for many reasons. M-thirtysix is quite complicated and really investigates points of intersections and the positive and negatives lines they can create.
Come and see for yourself at SWELL Sculpture Festival, Pacific Parade, Currumbin 11-20 September.
