Assembly Fitting the Panels

The final artwork was built from the bottom up. All of the panels required grinding to fit them together again because the of the uneven contraction of the cast iron as it cools.

The panels were assembled by using stainless steel plates to attach one to the other; the plates were bolted on and then welded. Stainless steel was chosen because of longevity. (Pictured: Jeph Neale fitting and grinding the panels)

‘Realising ideas into a physical medium in a place where you can affect the conversations happening at RMIT and in the wider world, affords me the opportunity to get that story, conversation, or point out there. A lot of my work is about making a difference and creating change and trying to evoke feelings and experience and engagement.’
