- Description: Plume is a feather, a quill, a hackle. Using coloured stainless steel means the
sculpture has many variations of colour depending on the viewpoint , the
weather and the time of day or season. The red coloured stainless steel from
which Plume is composed is an oxide layer on the surface of the polished
material. The polished sheet is dipped into a tank of clear oxide. Light entering
the infinitesimally thin layer at different angles creates colour which changes
when seen from different viewpoints, through red, blue, purple and gold. - Dimensions: Height 4.9 metres
