Net

Minimal sculptural form inspired by layered fishing nets, geometry and movement. The form is made of repeat shapes that can be built to create an arc. Steel, folded or box section welded. Colours inspired by fishing and ports.

Flow

Organic, linear form that can appear to move through the ground or lean into the buildings like a giant worm. Inspired by curving shapes of seaworms as well as hanging fishing nets and boat ropes. Amphirite is a genus name for seaworms. Amphirite was the consort of Neptune.
