The Dining Table and the Elevator

The Dining Table




Six intertwining cubes form this detailed dining table, with smaller versions being the 'chairs'. The layered structures reflect the complexity of the power of each woman; both reveal 'layers' in their personalities, from the vulnerabilities of their true selves, to the power of their accomplishments and the strong images they portray. Yet the blue creates a calming atmosphere, a 'middle ground' which allows both (from completely different worlds) to meet and share the experience of the commonality of the enjoyment of nature which surrounds them.

This single elevator has been designed for both Miranda Kerr and Helen Keller. It's shape encloses it's passengers, and it's seat in the centre allows both to be positioned at the heart of this moving entity. In the same way, the power obtained from both women has arisen from their own inherent strengths: Kerr with her beauty, and Keller with her determination. It can be said their power arises from the very core of their being, a quality which had always existed within both, rather than a status that was achieved through artificial means.

The Gateway Arch, St Louis, Missouri


To go to the top of the Arch, passengers in groups of five enter an egg shaped compartment (above right) containing five seats; eight compartments are linked to form a train. As they travel upwards, each compartment rotates 5 degrees periodically to maintain correct orientation, and glass panels allows passengers to see the interior stairs and structure of the Arch during the 4 minute trip.
