Circle of Renewal

Karen Whiterod

This sculpture is composed of three standing forms which suggest a sacred circle. Each form is made of a "honeycomb" of hexagonal cells, each cell was a plastic bottle. The largest and smallest forms are reconfigured from a previous sculpture, "Lightness of Being". The blue-tinged form is made from small bottles, these were made from recycled plastic and are rejected due to faults. This sculpture was made for a commission from Norfolk Waste Partnership.
