This sculpture explores the interplay between the natural timber and the figure I have envisaged inside the log.
I have chosen an imaginative subject where the figure who is being revealed is holding the external form of the log around her in modesty.
I enjoy the challenge and process of finding and excavating the visualised form within a rough piece of material, the natural flaws and limits providing both obstacles and guidance.

Gareth Graham
I have been sculpting in timber since I was in school, working initially in relief and with botanical themes.
After travelling to Italy at the age of 19 where I first viewed the work of Michaelangelo, I became interested in sculpting the figure.
Since then I've explored the human form, in particular human physiognomy. My practise includes marble carving, after having won a scholarship to visit Carrara in 2007, where I undertook a marble carving course.
Exhibitions
I have exhibited since 2005 in Newcastle, Sydney and Canberra.
My work is currently on display in Harvey Gallery in Seaforth. As well as being represented by Manon and Moss in Bungendore.
Collections
My work is held in private collections nationally and internationally, as well as in the Newcastle Region Art Gallery.
