Sculptures in the Garden

56 241 - Denise Lithgow (Leichhardt) Title - Amphora Vessel No 5B (77 x 37 x 20cm) Materials - Felt merino & crossbreed wool, yarns, metal stand Price - $950 Artist’s Statement - Amphora vessels were the ancient worlds’ standardised way to transport the fruits of life, food, water & wine. Two expansive handles allowed easier carrying and a long slim neck sealed with reed stoppers, reduced the surface area to prevent oxidation of the wine. 242 - Liz Mayberry (Mudgee) Title - Tribute to the Giving Tree (30 x 60 x 30cm) Materials - Eucalyptus, cane, iris & combungi leaves Price - $295 Artist’s Statement - When the street tree gifted me this branch in lockdown I decided to create a basket with the essence of ‘home’. The iris grows in my garden, and the Combungie grows in a storm drain close by. 243 - Roger McFarlane (Newcastle) Title - Fractured Time (52 x 43 x 19cm) Materials - Bronze, granite and mixed media Price - $2,200 Artist’s Statement - A representation of what happens when you try and stop or interfere with time. The figure is trying to stop time, the earth opens up and catastophe occurs. 244 - Roger McFarlane (Newcastle) Title - Armchair Sailor (60 x 45 x 24cm) Materials - Carrara Marble, paint and patina Price - $2,500 Artist’s Statement - Depicts the imaginings of an armchair sailor reading a book of sailing voyages. The sail is set, water washes over the floor and the book is somewhat wet and water damaged. All the while he is safe in his comfortable arm chair. 245 - Fraser the Razor (Seaforth) Title - Eye of Anu 1.1 (22 x 13 x 9cm) Materials - Mild steel Price - $220 Artist’s Statement - Inspired by new growth in Spring; this work gives a free flowing form to the hard, rigid material. The organic form emerges out of a geometric frame with a sense of energy, life and spirit.
