The Spiral of Life

Body of Work

The helical spiral, as found in nature, is essentially the transmission of energy, radiating out and drawing in, infinitely and eternally. Therefore we exist in nature, flowing with energy, and as we connect with each other, it creates an infinite flow of energy and unity - the very essence of life itself flowing through us.

The sculpture series has now expanded from being made entirely of pine timber and screws, to steel spanning 4 metres tall, in a parametric, helical spiral that Melissa designed & built herself.

Her largest piece was recently showcased at Swell Sculpture Festival, and is currently available for hire or purchase. Please contact Melissa for enquires

Connection

Body of Work

This body of work was born when Melissa completed an Art Residency for 2 weeks in Berlin Germany. 

"Connected" which represents the connection between people - how sometimes we want to isolate ourselves and hide away, when what we really need is connection. 

Melissa uses recycled t-shirt fabric to create her own style called "drawing with yarn". 

Bottled Up

Body of Work

Art installation using suspended found bottles.

'Bottled Up' represents the repression of emotions through the visual form of suspended bottles - as we bottle up our emotions, they start piling up, hanging onto a thread, and once one moves they all move, entwining each other.

Without emotions, we are LIFELESS. They are the true beauty of authentic expression. They are an outer expression of our inner world. They create connection with our very essence of being. They give us FREEDOM to fly. They give us a VOICE.
