At the heart of this artist run exhibition is the overriding belief that it is important to promote and embed the works of our Western Australian artists in the consciousness of local, national and international audiences. We need to do what we can to build identity, recognition and longevity of practice. We aspire to provide a platform for the discussion and critical review of sculpture both by informed observers and the wider public.

With limited financial resources we aim to deliver an enduring quality experience for all involved; artists, volunteers, committee members and importantly the audience.

We strive for the best possible installation support, documentation, graphics, merchandising, media and communication with visitors. Catalogues will be free to our audience, they will have a tangible record of the event, as will our artists. We want visitors to leave Bathers Beach knowing there is something special about Western Australian Sculpture.

A committee of 16 or so dedicated volunteers have made this show possible. They have

used their special skills for the past 12 months with autonomy and commitment taking high levels of responsibility, interacting with artists and building relationships and camaraderie.

The support we have received from the City of Fremantle, The Department of Culture and the Arts, The Esplanade Hotel, our listed sponsors and donors is crucial, valued and respected, we hope and expect that they are all rewarded in return.

Take a critical eye to the event, a DNA sample, enjoy the experience and value our artists.

01 Janine McAullay Bott

‘Mick’ the Stonefish 2016Palm fronds, agave, gumnut seed pods, acrylic paint 110 x 50 x 50cm Price: $2,500

If you are walking on the beach in Shark Bay, WA you need to be very careful, for if you stand on a Stonefish you would certainly need an emotional rescue! Janine McAullay Bott often weaves the humour of her Nyoongah cultural background into her work, in this instance both the humour and memories of her sailing history in Hawaii on a yacht named EMOTIONAL RESCUE are behind the theme of this lovable big-lipped fish, with reference to Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones.

Abdul-Rahman Abdullah is an emerging West Australian artist whose practice explores the different ways that memory can inhabit familial space.

Lament of the Labellum – Transfiguration 1 2017Reclaimed sterling silver on beading thread. 33 x 6.5 x 4.5cm Price: $2,200

The Labellum is the medial orchid petal - its sole purpose is to attract a pollinator. The labellum (also known as the lips) is the landing pad for fertilization; it is a point of attraction, connection and the continuation of life. In the Lament of the Labellum – Transfiguration I have removed the labellum with it’s column from the common Singapore orchid. The plant parts are then cast in recycled silver, cut, sanded, filed and drilled. The stringing together of these parts is an attempt to create the form of a backbone.

Collect 2016Wire, bandage, thread, cuttlefish 50 x 30 x 15cm Price: $600

09 Miik Green

Endless nameless 2016Stainless steel tube 40 x 60 x 40cm Price: $4,400

Miik is a painter and sculptor, who works from his Maylands studio. Endless Nameless is a sculptural work, combining sections of mirror-finished couplings, that shift and change according to the placement of curves and joins. Section by section, movement emerges as a methodical, Escheresque rhythm: in transition, a sum of its parts. His works draw from ideas of constraint, tension and conflict in art’s practice.

11 Geoffrey Drake- Brockman

Little Counter 2010Electronics, aluminium 50 x 30 x 30cm Price: $7,700

Little Counter is a miniature, single-digit version of the 9-digit “Counter” artwork that was exhibited in Perth, Cottesloe, Bondi and Aarhus between 2009 and 2014. Little Counter is sensitive to human movement and increments by one when it detects a new movement pattern. Occasionally, it performs a special “dance”, in response to a stimulus.

Penelope 2015Mixed media with steel stand 125 x 25 x 25cm with stand Price: $1,350

Olga Cironis is a multidisciplinary artist, examining notions of belonging and identity in today’s cultural globalisation.

Within Cironis’ work are layers of research, recorded and collected stories, often those that have been silenced.

13 Judith Forrest

We came bearing gifts 2017Gypsum polymer 3 x 30cm tall figures Price: $2,500 (for set of 3)

We the white women settled here in the first half of the 19th century, stepping off at Fremantle to peer into an unfamiliar world. On the other side of the looking glass the original inhabitants looked back. What did they see?

Half Empty / Half Full: Green Tree 2016Hydrostone, acrylic, vinyl tube and fittings, air freshener 42 x 46 x 8cm Price: $1,400

This work is one from a series loosely titled ‘Half Empty / Half Full’ which seeks to highlight the closed nature of our environment. In these works cheap, often disposable objects, such as air fresheners and balloons are given the opportunity to be lifesavers or slow executioners, depending on your point of view.

Curiously, there is an historical paucity of botanical references in the biblical story of Noah’s Ark. In this fictional reconstruction, the Ark is at a point of crisis: are the hybrid templates and botanical specimens being jettisoned? Or are they purposefully cast as the flood vacillates?

During childhood children are exposed to all sides of human nature and absorb both the good and the bad that society has to offer.

22 Cecile Williams

Welcome Home 2015Ghostnet (abandoned fishing net and rope), recycled books, frypans, egg flips, marine debris welded steel frame. Variable Price: $20,000

Welcome Home - a place of displacement. Its people, the land, animals and marine life changed by the impacts of ghostnet (abandoned fishing nets and rope) and the all engulfing deluge of marine debris found floating in the oceans and resting on the shores. Welcome Home evolved from time I spent in one of Australia’s ghostnet ‘hotspots’ at Mapoon, in Cape York.

The Static of Nature 2017South sea pearl, porcelain, electronic device, motor, wood plinth 117 x 30 x 30cm Price: $3,500

A south sea pearl is slowly rocked back and forth on the surface of a white unglazed ceramic surface. Employing both natural and site specific materials; a West Australian pearl, porcelain and wood. The work references nature’s repetition and subtle variation, the passage of continuous water erosion across sand, the ebb and flow of sound, and the creation of the pearl itself.

24 Denise Pepper

Copper Vessel 2016Copper shim, steel 70 x 60 x 20cm Price: $2,000

My artwork reflects my thoughts of the women settlers to colonial Australia. The sculpture focuses on the embroidery crafts, by translating them into a complex and hand crafted unique copper art piece. I have developed a unique and highly crafted set of skills to contrive an imaginative fusion of ideas and materials in my work.

25 Theo Koning

Untitled. (White – Work) 2016Wood, driftwood, material, rabbit skin, calcium carbonate gesso. 109 x 150 x 150cm Price: $6,500

The materials for this work were found during the winter storm period of June to September 2016.

Starfish 2017Steel, laterite, bluegum 300 x 300 x 8cm Price: $15,000

The Starfish is the current destination on my artistic journey in working with these materials: steel, stone and wood. Taking inspiration once again from the sea, the stylised starfish, poised on the edge of the Indian Ocean, lunges gracefully into the warrior yoga pose.

27 Nic Compton

Genus Questionablus 2017Black butt 120 x 600 x 150cm Price: $10,640

As a child (and still) I enjoyed beach combing hoping to find some weird creature unknown to science washed ashore. As I never did discover this elusive creature I had to create my own. Genus Questionablus is a combination of different species of marine life washed up and decomposing. The sculpture might ask questions about the state of our oceans, the Great Barrier Reef springs to mind. Or is it a Fukushima fish somehow related to Godzilla?

QF-1648 2015Aluminium, tuart (WA hardwood) 140 x 95 x 35cm Price: $18,320

‘I’m sitting on yet another plane and my mind is awash with dreams of home and the wild south coast, aircraft gone missing... and I’m digging for whale bones.’ My practice is predominantly concerned with the design and fabrication of large scale public works.

31 Peter Zappa

Lines on the sand 2017Mild steel pipe, forged/shaped/welded and painted 120 x 120 x 20cm Price: $6,600

The sculpture is a three dimensional interpretation of a drawing: the sculpture plays with perception; how we perceive something isn’t always what we expect it to be.

32 Ryan Cant

Hydration Plant (Ventilator) 2016Steel, steel components 200 x 80 x 50cm Price: $3,800

Hydration Plant is a weird combination of a cactus plant and a fire hydrant. Both rely on water to survive in an urban or rural environment.

33 Len Zuks

The Seed Pod 2014Steel, hot dip galvanised and painted 150 x 160 x 250cm Price: $18,000

We take for granted the process that seeds have in their memory. Store a seed for years and it remains a seed, but add water and the miracle continues. It becomes what it was programmed to become. Within my sculpture is a sprouted seed. Have a look.

Indian Ocean Sun Shower 2017Marine ply, copper, stainless steel, brass 40 x 30 x 50cm Price: $2,700

This artwork is about preservation and the active part we each play in attempting a rescue. It’s about the power of water in our lives and being prepared. It’s about using old ways to see a new future. This work is a sound work inspired by theatrical sound techniques and the surf-reel line rescue.

35 Kevin Draper

Penelope’s Web 2016Forged and welded steel, galvanized and painted 230 x 200 x 191cm Price: $15,000

This work is based on an ancient symbol that relates to the mythological figure of Penelope, who wove the thread of destiny in the old world. I was interested in the wheel like formation of the symbol and the interlaced pattern that is a reference to Penelope’s loom.

Under an electron microscope the trachea and fallopian tubes are convincingly nautical. Cilia is one of a number of sculptures I have made since a research residency (UWA Symbiotica 2005), which explore the similarity between oceanic forms and sites in the human body.

39 Pascal Proteau

Ahoy 2017Native timber, sea rope, steel 90 x 120 x 60cm Price: $3,200

Ahoy is a cry for attention. As much as it may sound like an exciting life style unfortunately some great challenges come with life at sea. Ahoy is a visual representation of feelings experienced by people living and working at sea and experiencing signs of mental instability.

Mikaela Castledine grew up in the unconventional house of an artist and a craftsman, so naturally fell into art and making as a way of life. She studied biology, interior design and has a Masters in writing and literature. These various areas of interest feed into her work which encompasses animal behaviour, architecture and story telling.

The Port of Fremantle has been witness to many scenes of farewell. The Bride scans the horizon towards the Indian Ocean for signs of her solider to return. The recurring and ephemeral memory of their parting plays out in a “moving” portrait that captures their longing and despair.

‘Rhythm n Flow’. The beat establishes a tempo, which enables a rhythm to be generated. From rhythm, creative thoughts and actions can flow. From the beat of the crank, the rhythm of your arm, something beautiful flows from within.

44 Adam Hisham Ismail

Harbour Master 2016Mixed media 200 x 60cm Price: $2,800

The sight of the old mortuary on Bathers Beach and the presence of the Harbour Master, who housed many early Australian convicts around the mid 1800’s has inspired a rich and evocative atmosphere, still redolent in many of the early locations about Perth. My ‘Harbour Master’ is intended to read as a figurative embodiment of an aspect of these turbulent early beginnings.

Comet Landing 2017Bronze, steel 150 x 150 x 150cm Price: $12,000

Composed of frozen ice and ash the Comet irregular shape shifter disintegrates with each passing, hardly making a sound. The motion trail leaves a momentary visible trace, brilliant in its breaking down, inaudible in frequency.

Receptacle 1 2017Steel, bronze, timber and marble 187 x 51 x 25cm Price: $15,000

‘Receptacle 1’ is a site specific work. It draws on my wider preoccupation with visual symbols for oppositions such as internal and external, concealment and exposure, life and death. From a formal perspective, it reflects my interest in shape, contour, structure, space and a reduction of signs to their elemental presence.

The series of Cloud sculptures are three dimensional, multi purpose objects which can be manipulated in a range of ways, being adaptable to a wall or a floor placement. They can be folded in many different configurations, and as such have no fixed form, like a cloud.

49 Buffy Jones

Building Blocks 2017Ceramic, steel, stone, wood, concrete Variable. Price: $5,000

In this work there is a sense of whimsy amongst the structures. Using reused recycled and re purposed materials as an intentional form of expression has allowed this collection of objects to evolve to become something new. Paint your roof white, grow seeds, there is only a fleeting time in the world.

50 Richie Kuhaupt

Proto Persona 2017Steel plate 180 x 60 x 35cm Price: POA

The work has come from a series of maquettes produced from card for a public art project in collaboration with Nyoongah artist Rod Garlett and Chaney Architecture. At the time it was a simple way to describe a more elaborate final design but they have a simple elegance worth exploring at scale. This is a step in that process.

Rapunzel (canola story) 2016Steel basket, rope, wooden pallet, silk ribbon 65 x 90 x 80cm Price: $4,950

Rapunzel, the name of the young woman in the folk tale, is derived from the European word for the oilseed plant rape, known in Australia as canola. A being untethered from its story is a dangerous thing in this slow changing landscape. I thought it timely to bring this fragment of the narrative ashore, to seek out the croplands and learn a new grammar.

Divide 2017Stone and barrier fencing 180 x 500 x 500cm Price: POA

Divide is a project that examines the human condition bound by limits and possibilities. It acts as a device that may unite or separate the viewer from art.

Entitlement 2 2017Ectoplasm 175 x 40 x 30 approx Price: NFS

‘Entitlement 1’ was a speculation on our entitlement by virtue of being born human and out of concerns about my country’s attitude to universal human rights. It was about where we come from, what we are born with, what we leave behind and where we go.

‘Entitlement 2’, I hope is much the same.

Withy and the Path of Light 2017Found vinyl and leather 200 x 150 x 300cm Price: $3,000

The forms are intended to motivate the viewer towards their own actualisations. We are all faced with adversity that we can overcome through focus and celebration of the positive. I’m suggesting that we expect our freedom to be framed within a safe structure.

India: life’s extremes. During a recent trip, India provided an orgiastic feast for my senses, compelling me to understand and accept the vast inequalities in this world. My puja flower offering calls for a LOVE revolution, raising the consciousness of all, creating abundance for all… Om mani pad me hum.

Grace Under Pressure (Homage to Rush) 2017Corten steel, jarrah, enamel, acrylic paint 280 x 170 x 30cm Price: $16,500

This work continues an area of my practice exploring formalism. ‘Grace under pressure’ alludes to our attempts at living with some semblance of balance or togetherness, while impact and influence from the world around us teems with angst and tension from all directions.

Supernova 2016Steel nuts, recycled jarrah 370 x 310 x 310cm Price: $ 41,000

‘Supernova’ is a snapshot in time. It is the abstraction of the moment when a star dies in a massive explosion paused like a photo. 99 jarrah wood ‘particles’, which are ‘accelerating’ with diverse lengths, connected in the centre give a feeling of speed and expansion. A supernova is a death, but it appears as something new and alive. It is alive and exploding, reaching its peak volume and at its most beautiful stage, just before it starts to fade and finally collapse. An explosion unites birth and death in the shortest possible moment.

Suburban Legend 2016Polyethylene, bronze, solar components 4 pieces x 100 x 45 x 200cm each Price $25,000

I use the road water barrier to build my ‘suburban legends’, as these barriers are now a common object within our urban landscape, and I use bronze to turn legend into memory. The materials bookend two periods of civilisation: from the bronze age to the plastic age.

75 Bellinda Panizza

Where the grass is greener 2016Polystyrene, fibreglass, synthetic grass, steel, sheeting, rope, chain 220 x 240 x 150cm $22,450

This sculpture celebrates a time and place where elephants break free from our interference. The elephant structure itself, is encapsulated in green synthetic grass, which symbolizes freedom and greener pastures. Rigid metal tusks act as a protective barrier, while the elephant stands ‘crushing’ the very object which held him restrained for so many years.74 Gordon Mitchell

Point of View 2017Powder coated mild steel, stainless steel mirror finish 300 x 225 x 188cm Price: $26,000

‘Point of View’ is a sculpture questioning how we view our world and how our responses can be shaped. Believe in your own judgement by what you see to be real not by that you hear from others.

Cameron Robbins (Vic) is our special guest at Sculpture at Bathers 2017. His residency at Claremont School of Art (1996) resulted in enduring friendships and a remarkable wind powered drawing machine. An elegant, simply constructed and designed apparatus that is both kinetic sculpture and a maker of beautiful drawings.

Cameron’s latest sculptures are evidence of his enduring fascination with instruments which harness natural forces. The resulting artworks have an atmospheric quality which inextricably links them to their conception and creation.
