Description
Elsa Lye stated "My interest in the strength/weakness of building steel was triggered by the collapse of the CTV building during the earthquakes in Christchurch.
These small test forms are the result of an unmonitored power surge in an electric kiln which melted and crumpled the steel, chicken wire and clay demonstrating its vulnerability to shock. Now stuck to the kiln shelf these unexpected results fuelled my curiosity to experiment further."
