UNDERWING comprises seven units suspended from an arched frame. Each unit has a ribbed fin-like form with a vessel at each end. A peristaltic pump pushes water from one vessel to the other, causing each unit to pivot from side to side. As a unit reaches its half-way point, it triggers the next, creating an endless loop of motion.

This project was assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body. Photographed at Linden Centre for Contemporary Arts, St Kilda, November 2010.
