Sculptures
Many of my public art sculptural works can be found across the wider Perth area. I work closely with councils, developers and architects to create durable, attractive artworks which are suitable for the public arena. My portfolio includes artworks designed to be incorporated in playgrounds where consideration of public safety is paramount.
I also collaborate closely with individual clients on privately commissioned sculptural artworks. Usually on a smaller scale, these works make art accessible to all.
These two privately commissioned eucalyptus leaf sculptures are made by layering contrasting Corten and mirror finish stainless steel.
The leaves feature different laser cut motifs of leaves, flowers and gum nuts for each of the silver princess and bottlebrush designs.
The cut-outs allow delicate natural light to penetrate, adding depth and interest to the robust, earthy design.
I work with my clients to create similar, affordable designs based on a range of native flora.
My low-poly kangaroo playground sculptures can be seen at Calista Oval Bike Skills Track in the City of Kwinana.
The kangaroos, in three different poses, are made from fully welded and finished 5mm steel. The choice of 5mm steel for this project increases the longevity of the kangaroos which were designed to be safe, long-lasting and highly durable in a play environment.
I am able to work with clients to design and fabricate any similar low-poly animal sculptures, including pets, in a choice of metals or in solid granite.
This render shows my low-poly granite dog sculptures which were short-listed for public artwork display in the Town of Claremont.
This garden screen features a wide range of my Western Australian native flora designs. Each plant has a use in traditional medicine.
The screen is made from 5 mm Corten weathering steel, layered with 3 mm high polished 316 stainless steel.
The designs were all hand drawn prior to laser cutting.
In 2024 I worked with developer Landscape Elements to fabricate three solid granite shark fins for the new playground at the Shark Park development in East Fremantle.
The shark fins swim through a grassed play area adjacent to the cafe and climbing frame.
This private commission for a sturdy garden sculpture is of a leaf skeleton. It is fabricated from 6 mm laser cut Corten steel.
The two halves of the leaf are welded together on an angle to create depth. The sculpture is embedded in a natural limestone block.
In 2024, I worked in close collaboration with the Rwandan Community Abroad Perth to design the Western Australian Rwandan Genocide Memorial. The memorial, Kwibuka, meaning “to remember”, is the first to be installed in the Asia-Pacific region. It stands in the Civic Gardens, City of Stirling.
The commemorative sculpture provides a place of remembrance for Perth Rwandans. It was erected in recognition of the 30th anniversary of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
The sculpture is fabricated from pure black granite in the shape of a flame. Embedded into the front face are three laser cut stainess steel flames featuring the commemorative theme, “Remember. Unite. Renew.”
The pedestal, rear and front faces are laser etched with commemorative text.
