In 1979 I attended a sculpture workshop in Noojee, Victoria with renowned German jeweller and sculptor Claus Bury. The drawings of the sculptures produced at this time became the basis of experimental works when later in the year I was artist in residence at RMIT in Melbourne. The Strings  and Noojee series were the result. The whipped sections being inspired by the knotted guy ropes of our structures. The geometric sectioning representing the poles of the sculptures.

The pieces are marked by interactive multiple parts. In Strings V the brooch can be swung from the neckpiece or pinned on the chest.

Work from this series has been exhibited in Europe and Asia and is in the collections of the Art Gallery of Western Australia, the Australian National Gallery and the Inge Asenbaum Collection in the Dallas Museum of Art, USA.
