2022 Exhibitions

Simon Gandevia, OLD FOUND AND REMADE
26 November - 31 January

This is a series of pieces sculpted from sandstone and wood.  Some were made de novo and others are based on found material such as pieces of burnt wood and rusted steel.  Often a piece reveals something unexpected about the material and how it has evolved. There are a couple of sculptural parodies included too. 

Hopefully some pieces are interesting and even worth a longer look.

All nett proceeds will be donated to Médecins Sans Frontières Australia.

Artist Statement

I have long been drawn to the Sydney Opera House and Utzon’s design concept and to the construction methods settled upon by the architectural team  -  whereby reportedly the sails were visualized as sections of a whole sphere, likened to segments of an orange.  The overall effect was to give the ‘sails’ a relationship and an integrity inherent in their having originated from the same overall shape. I have been guided (to a large extent) by this principle in creating my own sculptural shapes, with varying degrees of success.  Perhaps, this principle is relevant to sculpture making in general, in that the parts of the piece of work should ideally serve, rather than master, the wholeness of the work.
