Knitted wire. Reach for the stars my child, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. You are enough!
Based on the Galapagos Tortoise, this sculpture celebrates these animals that have existed for so many centuries in their own environment until man drove them to the brink of extinction. We need to be reminded, and maintain awareness of our impact on the ecological systems around us. The environment was in trouble long before Climate Change!
Rock shaped forms impressed with natures textures, stacked as markers of respect and beauty.
‘View Finder’ – A framed view or window into another dimension. What do we focus on when looking at a sculpture, the construction or the emotional effects it gives to the viewer. A man looking at this sculpture would think and rationalise it completely differently to that of a woman. What comes to mind when you look through the circle?
This work explores the space between. The dynamic flow of energy that connects the two forms, which are imbued with a longing to move closer.
‘Inception’ is mounted on a 120 x 120 cm base. Editions of ‘Inception’ will vary in size depending on the antique wheel rims used for the main structure. ‘Inception’-a new era for mankind is coming. Seeing the transition from analog to hi tech. Hopefully it will be used to benefit society…The old log cart wheel represents a period in time where everything was accomplished through manual labour. The steel rod expresses the human evolutionary growth into a new technological age, where the majority of work will be done by robots and computers. Can we evolve without losing the romance of the past?
With this sculpture Tarisse & Sarrita wanted to translate their collaboration ‘Our Country’s Story’ into a 3D object. The choice to use metal is a reflection on the strength and longevity of the Australian Indigenous culture and the stories passed down over the centuries. The natural tarnish & rust is a reflection of the age of the markings and long history of these stories.
I will be creating this work specifically for Sculpture on the Farm 2023. As certain plants rely on the flight of birds to spread their seed, our own ideas need inspired action in order to germinate and reach fruition.
With this sculpture Tarisse wanted to translate her ‘Campsites’ story into a 3D object. The choice to use metal is a reflection on the strength and longevity of the Australian Indigenous culture and the stories passed down over the centuries. The natural stone was selected to strengthen the connection of the story with land. The rust finish reminds us of the age of the markings and long history of these stories.
There are a myriad of connections and relationships within the animal kingdom, and I hope that humans care for the planet to protect these symbiotic relationships. In this work a Kangaroo providing the fur to line the nest of Brown Headed Honey Eaters.
‘Peace Takes Flight’ presents as a captivating sculpture – a large geometrical dove suspended 5 meters high. Symbolizing peace, it is illuminated from behind with warm hues. Its graceful movements, influenced by the wind. Geometry merges with nature, reflecting balance in a modern age. This sculpture’s enigmatic play of light and shadow sparks introspection, as shapes are cast across it’s chiseled sides. At each angle, the piece expresses shapes differently. At nightfall, it changes yet again, this illuminated spirit takes flight.
