1. Wired for Living
Sculpture
Barry McLoughlan and Lee Adams work together as Wired for Living creating sculptural pieces, mainly from recycled fencing wire. Participating in numerous exhibitions they have travelled throughout Australia with the former Open Gardens Australia, exhibiting at their major events.
Their art realises the potential for elegance in discarded materials and resolves technically difficult problems associated with materials and their behaviour creating unique, self-supporting pieces.
The work investigates the resurgence of the handmade and the ethics of slowness in an age of mass production exploring the conversation between nature, traditional crafts and new technologies.
Built through weaving, pulling and welding, pieces are often dictated by the materials used with forms emerging intuitively, often pushed to their structural limits….imperfection is embraced.
