Find Golden Section at Eric Street and Curtin Avenue, on the western side of the train corridor. Use the public corner approach.
Ivan Black combines sculpture, engineering and mathematics to create precisely balanced works that change form when energy is introduced. Repeated geometric elements are a recurring feature of his practice, with movement transforming what initially looks like a fixed structure into a sequence of different shapes. Golden Section is made from aluminium and stainless steel and is powered simply by the wind.
The sculpture was exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2016, where it received the Cottesloe Acquisition Award and joined the permanent collection.
