I am a Visual Artist looking for funding to complete my artwork, "DORMANT",  for the SWELL art exhibition 14 - 23 September at Currumbin, Gold Coast.  I have exhibited at SWELL the past 5 years but am seeking sponsorship for this ambitious project. 

 

In the past my work "Troy Town", a walk through maze, was selected for the Helen Lempriere Award  ... 

 

 

 and my "Grass Cube" for the McClelland Exhibition in 2008 ...  

 

'RedDer' from Swell exhibition, 2010

 

 

I have designed and made a prototype of Dormant ... 

 

 

 

& am now making the full size work.  This rectangular sculpture will be made of durable 10mm Polycarbonate.  It will be 1.7m tall x  1.2m wide and its internal 'Moth' images are projected by a gobo and DMX Control system.

The base of the work is transparent so it appears to float above the ground. The top is white and dormant.

After dusk, or on a cloudy day, the translucent work flickers within. On closer inspection ‘Moths’ appear and come to life.

The internal lighting system will be iPhone activated and a 2D barcode on the external framework will direct spectators to my website.

I am looking for 1/3rd ($2,000) of the cost of making the artwork.

The rectangular polycarbonate will cost $3,600.

The internal Vinyl print $1,800

The Gobo & Moth plate $420

The DMX Controller $900

TOTAL = $6,550

A4 sheet of "DORMANT" images.
