Empty Nest

Jeff Hyde

Primarily working with rusty steel and stainless steel, my designs are influenced by an attraction to spheres, geometric shapes and the impact of negative space. I am happy to experiment with techniques and allow the materials to dictate the shape and flow of the completed sculpture.

Together with my artist wife Jeanette, I reside in the rural Victorian village of Jindivick. Surrounded by rolling hills and plentiful wildlife, our studio is in a disused dairy on our small farm. As a creative duo, we at times collaborate on projects to create sculptures that reflect a combination of our design styles.

Since 2016 I have regularly exhibited at NSW Sculpture shows, including Mudgee, Jindabyne, Bermagui, Orange, and Sculpture on the Farm, Dungog.   Whilst I am based in Victoria, my sculptures have found a home in most States in Australia.
