Infinite Cube 2018

Edan had conceptualised this little gem, a decade before it was built, in jewellery form.

The Infinite Cube is reminiscent of Brancusi’s endless column; full of repetition and movement. As the cube’s interlock, seemingly on a precarious angle, floating out of the volcanic rock, they vibrate quietly between the western facing gums, overlooking the magical sunsets towards Hesket and Hanging Rock, capturing the light beautifully and blending magically into the trees and rock. Overlooking the grave of our much loved dog Stella, where she watches the kangaroos and dreams of chasing them though the grass.

“A marquette was made for an old friend, but plans for the long form were forgotten. After the required number of moons had passed, the stars were finally permitted to align and I was given the chance to make this 2600kg piece of sacred space junk exist. With a lot of cursing and sweating and jigging and help from nice humans- she was born.

“An exploration of my fascination with skeletal forms and platonic solids, balanced on a lichen encrusted boulder in beautiful remnant eucalypt forest on a hill I’m quite fond of above the grave of an old comrade. I sure hope she likes it.”
