This work is part of a series of loosely connected assemblages developed over five years using more contoured shapes and negative cutout semi circles of offcuts from weathered plywood concrete formwork. The artist associates this semi circular shape with coastlines, beaches and bays. Gascoigne said: ' I had a lot of curved wood, and it reminded me of old tales we used to hear a lot in New Zealand. Captain Cook sailed around New Zealand and what did he see but bays and bays and bays and beauty and colour and bays. And everywhere he'd see an empty beach..." in V. MacDonald, Rosalie Gascoigne, Sydney 1998, p82. This assemblage is a surprisingly astute evocation of place developed from the simplest of means
