What is it?, he asks
JUDGES COMMENTS:
Fundere Foundry specializes in bronze casting, so we chose a work that we would love to see realized in bronze. This beautifully sculpted work evokes the artist’s clear respect and admiration for this misunderstood creature.
$500 CASH PRIZE -
Felicity Gordon
Colonialflage
JUDGES COMMENTS:
We were immediately drawn to the inventive use of colonial era furniture as formal and conceptual framing device for this piece. Upon closer inspection we were impressed by the highly considered resolution of the work, as well as the nuanced handling and sensitivity of materiality, which were used here to particular success.
YARRA SCULPTURE GALLERY EXHIBITION PRIZE -
Penny Walker-Keefe
Stratocaster
JUDGES COMMENTS:
We were both attracted to the joyous and playful nature of this work. This soft sculpture is highly resolved with a wonderful attention to detail, and we would love to see it as part of a larger installation.
