This series of web-like structures is designed to evoke the convoluted multiple webs of the golden orb spiders that are common in Sydney parks and gardens. As they incorporate twigs and leaves into their webs, I also have incorporated parts of the parks flora into the design.
Part of the idea is to give the viewer a feeling of changed scale, as if they are insects viewing these webs at their own scale.
The students at Surry Hills Boys & Girls Brigade After School Care have
assisted in making their own web-like structures, fixed into wire
coathangers.
Garth Knight works in a variety of mediums including photography, digital sculpture, installation and performance.
