Native Lifeforms

Every one of my bronze works have been created with the intention of paying homage to the very environments in which they were formed. The sculptures that make up this exhibit are based on various twigs and stones which were collected throughout South Australia. Each twig is a completely unique form, like a fingerprint. They have been shaped by their surrounds. The very nature of a twig has been formed by the earth, wind, rain and landscape in which it evolved, resulting in sculptures which share a very unique and special bond with the location in which they were formed. I am also exhibiting sculptures exclusively using a variety of local South Australian stones. The entire exhibit pays homage to its indigenous connections to South Australia.

I am aware that my work always seems to suggest a narrative – however, I never really know what the meaning of the narrative is – I couldn’t explain it verbally. The best I can say, is that there is always an intent to communicate, formally and aesthetically, something real about being human.
