Originally an entry into the competition for a gateway sculpture for the London 2012 Olympics, this form draws upon five spiralling triangles which interweave upwards to describe a 75 meter high gyre of air. Elegant and structurally daring, it was subsequently cast at 1:25 scale in stainless steel as the sculpture 'String Quintet'.
