800mm x 800mm lightweightplastic
steel bolt connection column and beam in
pre-cut joints
200mm x 200mm (or to str. eng. spec.s) hollow square
steel beam to provide bracing on both axis
Lateralsection
Construction process
Plastic column with pre-cut hollow inte-
rior (slightly larger than steel beam)
aligned with crane
Excavated ground ready for sculpture
construction
Hole bored to depth for suitable soil
strength (consult geotechnical
engineer) and supported
with round cardboard
tubing
Hollow square steel beam (to structural
engineer’s spec.s) inserted into
borehole with temporary
supports
Bolts attached through plastic
column and steel beam for struc-
tural support, and finished
with Plasti-Bond
Plastic column ac-curately slid onto
steel beam and connected to
concrete and appropriately
weather-proofed
Concrete poured and set around steel
beam and appro-priately weather-
proofed

Flowing curvature
WyndStream is a proposal for the Wyndham City Gateway Project. It draws upon the changing qualities of tur-bluence formation inherent within fast-travelling vehicles to create multiple dynamic moire effects along the highway. The sculpture posesses many intriguing qualities:
The 3D form of the sculpture is based upon the flowing curvature of arbitrarily-created curves expressed by the stream of wind that passes over a car: a stronger curvature on the 2D plan equates to a sharper angle when transferred into a 3D element. The spaces between the bottoms of these lines is constant, whilst the dis-tance at their tips changes dynamically with the curve.
The moire effects created within the lines elements are vastly different based on both the viewer’s perspective and theit speed. A change in distance produces a sharper (or looser) pattern, whilst their speed determines the rate at which the pattern changes. This means that inbound and outbound traffic have very different inter-pretations of the sculpture, expressing its ingrained experential qualities.
