Small Folding Cassini Eliptical - Cliff Burtt
The work is the latest in a series exploring the Aesthetics and Philosophical basis of the instruments of the epoch that encompasses the ‘age of enlightenment ‘and the ‘age of discovery’ a period that may be at an end. The expansion across the globe of a particular understanding of human purpose and destiny and the ingenuities and technologies this generated, have had a profound effect on the planet’7s peoples and environment. We are now faced with existential threats of our own making .
Bio: After graduating from RMIT in 1982 I have consistently exhibited in solo and curated group exhibitions and executed public commissions. I work predominately in steel, manipulated by cold forming and welding. My monumental works, including one in Deloraine, address the built world, its history and legacy. My cosmological works reference the intricate mechanisms of instruments marking time and space. I am represented in public galleries and private collections overseas. I am currently represented in the Australian Galleries Sculpture Park and Gallery in Sorento.
