Nike Savvas is a sculptor and installation artist from Australia though she is now based in London. In her works she uses a variety of materials and varies greatly in scale. In the work seen below it is constructed using string and wood frames. In this series of work Savvas was inspired by the mathematical origins of art, to create the works she uses geometric formulas.
In her work she also enjoys playing with light and space. In another series of her work she uses pieces of colorful plastic and in another spheres strung together and installed into the space. Looking specifically at the installation using confetti like plastic, she has described it as a 3D painting. This is an interesting point to note because Savvas formal training is in painting.

In this installation below it is created using spheres that have been strung on nylon and each side of the string attaches to the wall. Her intention with this work was for the spheres to represent the structure of any element.
Atomic, full of love, full of wonder
