Shark Balustrade
Commissioned by a private client as the external balustrade for his diving house.
Consisting of five large stainless steel panels, each forged over at the top into a cresting wave to create the handrail. A life size Great White Shark swims across and through three of the panels.
A gradual transition from cut and incised line at the tail through a gentle bas-relief to an emerging heavily textured and detailed repoussé head and open jaw, captures the power and movement of this huge marine predator.
Designed, made and installed by Charles Normandale
