“This is me making the big kinetic sculpture in the Balmain house. The one that went to the Sculpture Triennale. It was on a pivot and had huge plywood sails. The house was too small. It was an unsatisfactory place for making sculpture. I bought two vacant blocks and built two houses. The sale of one paid for the other.

The kinetic piece was a pretty crappy piece. The first piece after a long break. Then I hit my stride and had that show at Watters Gallery. ”
