It is a very open form: four large voids are cut through it and between them the material runs as thick knobbly lobes, so the holes take up about as much of the outline as the solid does. Three finishes are made on this same form, and the piece is supplied colourless unless another is asked for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFour Voids Holding as Much Room as the Material\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe balance between hole and mass is what makes this one work. Each void has its own character: a broad arch at the top where two lobes meet overhead, a tall irregular one through the middle, a round one low on the left and a fourth cutting in from the base. Around them the lobes are heavy and rounded, bulging where they turn and pinching where they meet, and each lobe carries its own dimpled ripple so the surface never runs smooth for long. Seen from the front the piece is a ring of material around a run of openings; from the side those openings close up and it becomes a stack of lobes, which is a genuinely different object. The whole thing is polished, so every lobe carries a moving highlight and every void a dark edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 65cm it suits a sideboard, a reception desk or a plinth, and its openings need something behind them; the block needs nothing underneath. Give it space: a wall close behind fills all four voids with grey and the piece loses most of what it is. A window, a mirror or open room behind it does the opposite. It reads from every side, so a spot approached from two directions suits it, and a raking light keeps the lobes distinct where a ceiling fitting merges them. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree Finishes on One Form, and How Open to Cut It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on a bespoke commission runs to 5–6 weeks, on a standard piece to 3–4. The finish is the main decision because the same form reads three quite different ways. Colourless is standard and the most architectural. A smoke version holds a dark grey at the foot that clears as it rises, which gives the piece weight and suits a pale room. An aqua version does the same in blue and is much the warmer of the two. On the cutting: four voids is standard, and it is made with two for a considerably more solid object or six for something closer to coral, though beyond four the lobes become slender and the piece needs a safer position. Other heights are made to order. It travels standing with all four voids packed out and the top arch braced, and it is a one-person carry that two people should place.
