When I first came across Brancusi’s endless column as a student, I was mesmerised by both its simplicity and its ability to lift our spirits.
I’ve long wanted to make one myself and now is the time. I have dragged out those old fire extinguishers which have lain rusting under my elderflower tree for three decades.
The column’s secondary components are expansion tanks from oil boilers. Fire and oil.
