Untitled (found rock) reproduces a simple found form: a rock recovered from the ocean on the mid NSW coast. The cast object reproduces the form but transforms it materially... in this instance, bronze.
The simple act both removes it from its origins yet is simultaneously suggestive of them through the subtle connections of water and minerals to bronze. The form itself, removed from its context on the ocean floor, becomes suggestive of other forms.
