COSMIC RECHARGE II (2016 & 2017 )
@ SCULPTURE BY THE SEA BONDI & UNIVERSITY OF CANBERRA
Cosmic Recharge comprises a series of sculptures -or cosmic Plug-In Stations - called Wing Grower, Embracer and Cosmic Trumpet. They appear on a bit of 'sacred space' - a patch of gold-leafed floor- where the viewer can inhabit and test them. These Cosmic Recharge machines are portable ‘axis mundi’ –thresholds to another dimension -to the place where we go when we close our eyes and contemplate our inner selves.
