Fifth Movement 2012 for Takapuna Beach House, with Athfield Architects, Auckland, NZ Third in the vowel series, ‘Fifth Movement’ is a response to the initial problem of cracked concrete floors. This problem dissipated as the idea took hold. The abstract forms of ‘A-E-I-O-’ meander through the interior, replacing some of the cracks, leaving others, to an upright ‘U’ outside. A bronze pivot punctuates the reading of the work. As well as being sequential and a form of recitation, the musicality of this work — the abstracted notations, the tuning fork -like form of the ‘U’ — is referenced by the title. Quite by accident, I learned of the depth of love and need for music in the family.
