Ember II
Dimensions: 2500 x 3500mm
Materials:
hand-dyed silk, stainless steel wire
Photography: Anthony Pearse
Ember II was commissioned for the Galaxy Casino in Macau in 2011. The mobile is made from stainless steel and hand dyed silk, and is companion piece to Ember I. I dyed the silk many different shades of red, from rich plumb through cadmium red and soft yellows with just a blush of pink. After polishing the mobile 'leaves' were hooked into place, the links closed with some gentle persuasion from a hammer.
