Sculptures in the Garden

13 26 - Trenton Woolcott (Greystanes) Title - Blackbutt Gumnuts (45 x 120 x 45cm) Materials - Timber - Eucalyptus pilularis Price - $3,400 Artist’s Statement - Carved from salvaged Blackbutt, (Eucalyptus pilularis) this woody follicle is normally 5-10mm in diameter, from a Blackbutt tree. Shaped mostly with a chainsaw before burning to darken the timber. The sculpture explores proportion. 27 - Jane Theau (Cremorne ) Title - Holey Soul (120 x 70 x 90cm) Materials - Bronze, horsehair, copper Price - $14,000 Artist’s Statement - Holey Soul was inspired by the sculptures of Barbara Hepworth with their tactile voids, and the suggestion by philosopher Michel Serres that our soul is in our skin. This impossible creature, which has no mouth, eyes, ears or nose, is only skin. It was created to incite touch. 28 - Michael Ferris (Mudgee) Title - Wave (180 x 160 x 160cm) Materials - Copper Price - $12,000 Artist’s Statement - Enticing the viewer’s imagination using repetition in an organic form, I wanted to create the motion of a wave lapping onto the shore. This sculpture feels like it has grown and challenges the idea of a living structure. 29 - Amanda Harrison (Greenwich) Title - On Rocky Ground (28 x 40 x 18cm) Materials - Ceramic Price - $480 Artist’s Statement - The strength in character of this sculpture is evident in posture and texture, settled in an earthy, rocky landscape. 30 - Katherine Castillo Alferez (Manly) Title - Coral Queendom (90 x 30 x 48cm) Materials - Bronze on timber plinth Price - $30,000 Artist’s Statement - The power of knowing who we are is our crown. Just by standing up with the purpose of surviving, like ecosystems. However, neither the ocean nor the land knows distinction of race or colour, it all lives together. Edition 1/10
