Benjamin Jay Shand
I studied architecture before launching my own art and architecture office Studio Shand. My sculptural work has shown at/commissioned for exhibitions inclusive of La Biennale di Venezia, Vivid Sydney, Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize, Montalto Sculpture Prize, Fisher’s Ghost Art Award and Sculpture by the Sea. Throughout I have experimented across media, to realise a particular configuration of form engendered in essential materials, geometries and tectonics.
I live and work on Gadigal land – my practice concerns itself with the configuration and tectonics of form explored through the disciplines of sculpture and architecture.
