One of five international artists selected for a residency in South Korea focused on sustainability, Bennett constructed a 3.8 metre sculpture, Tipping Point (2012). In response to the elements, a reflective man rotates above an improbable time device. As the sun moves across the sky in Hangaram Square Central, Seoul, the changing shadows cast by the figure over the course of a day on the grid-like paving of the square below are documented.

“My work is a convoluted journey of tangents and overlays: the world – many lands, many oceans, one shared sky. Figures, connected at the core, offer no evidence of relationships connecting land with sky, of coordination determining action. The earth turns, all are subject to the elements. All stare straight ahead – at the land or sky, changing with the wind, turning away. What are they seeing? What are we seeing? Issues confront us, the answer lies in reflection, shared vision, combined action."
