Completed: April 2026
Detail/Materials: Found wood, ply, ceramic, acrylic paint, and glaze
60 x 25 x 25 cm

Six Planes Waterfall is a hand-built sculpture constructed from found wood, plywood, and ceramics. The work translates a psychedelic vision (six concentric rings radiating upward from a tree trunk) into a physical form.

The work reconfigures Perpetual Cascade, an earlier two-dimensional painting, into a three-dimensional work. The original painting depicts a stylised waterfall of repeated geometric motifs with diamond-shaped eyes releasing streams of tears downward into an angelic figure.

Central to the work is the notion of the waterfall as a conduit of continuous energy and a living presence within the natural world. The act of viewing is positioned as a liminal experience, a threshold between the material and the immaterial, with the waterfall seen as a living system. Here, the boundaries of the self become porous, with the potential to dissolve and be absorbed into something greater.

In this sculpture, a star figure at the apex is drawn from tarot iconography, associated with renewal, trust, and cosmic guidance. Positioned above the cascading forms, it gestures toward an infinite source: a cyclical economy in which energy is both received and returned, connecting individual experience to broader patterns of flow, reciprocity, and transformation.

Bright Yellow ply disks appear evenly between the segments. Eight ply solid blue wings are attached to the top which circles a stylised yellow star figure in ceramic. White ply wings appear at the bottom of the sculpture. Two rings of light purple ceramic eyes circle the top and hooks appear out of those eyes, with brightly blue glazed diamond shaped ceramics dangle down the length of the sculpture so only glimpses of the original copper log peek through. The diamond ceramics are meant to evoke a stylised waterfall and are in different shades of blue.

Different shades of blue are used and stylised elements like diamond shapes eyes and diamond shape tear drops run down. At the bottom a geometrical angel appears. Either side of the waterfall are blocks of light purple watercolour paint.
