A Piece of Sky, No. 7, 1999

Made to signify the beginning of a new millennium, A Piece of Sky, No. 7 was first exhibited at the now-defunct Sculpture Square during the exhibition Celebration (2000). Two thousand gold and platinum stars protrude from a concave blue wall with sporadic, engraved lines across its surface. Inspired by the night sky she witnessed in Australia’s Kakadu National Park back in 1997, the sculpture explores themes of time, environmentalism, nature and abundance, capturing the vast and ethereal qualities of the sky.

The sculpture also represents a turning point of Prvacki’s practice, marking her shift to large-scale works and the incorporation of Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC).

The sculpture is currently situated at the Education Resource Centre at UTown, National University of Singapore, A Piece of Sky, No. 7, encourages students to embody the artist’s curiousity and resourcefulness with materials, inspiring new ways to express ideas.
