"Sticks and Stones 5" FF527 continues the artist’s exploration of opalised sticks and stone replacements — fragments of ancient material transformed over millennia into shimmering colour. This piece, measuring 5.5 cm × 1.5 cm × 3.5 cm, reveals delicate bands of opal that trace the original structure of the fossil, capturing both the fragility of wood and the enduring strength of stone.
Its surface shifts with subtle hues, each angle revealing a new interplay of light and pattern shaped by geological time. The sculpture is presented on a Coolabah timber stand, whose warm, textured grain enhances the opal’s natural vibrancy. The pairing creates a grounded, earthy frame for the fossil’s luminous transformation, celebrating Australia’s deep connection between land, timber, and stone.
