In 2008 I had a solo exhibition at Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts in Townsville titled Chain Reaction. My aim was to experiment by combining upcycled materials and effects like domino effect, virtuous cycle and fractals. Whilst I was creating one of the artworks titled Ripple Effect from thousands of recycled plastic lids for the exhibition, I knew and wanted to really extend the use of this medium further.
By minimising and placing the white lids all together with one single red lid, I felt was very statement depicted my aim, the power of one.

I was surprised and pleased to find the fabric like form the joined lids took.  |
