Infinity, Jackie and Buzz

"Infinity" outside the John Curtin School of Medical Research, Australian National University. This building is amazing to look at and "Infinity" takes on another representation at this location. We thought that the geometric shape of the column resembled abstract DNA, somewhat appropriate - considering the location.

Incidently, Jackie Chan (one of our favourites), has been a very generous supporter of the ANU. Jackie has donated large amounts to be used in the area of medical research in memory of his much-loved mother who, with his father, was a long term resident here in Canberra. Go Jackie! and thankyou !!!

To quote Buzz Lightyear..."To Infinity and Beyond!"

"Majestic Bird" and the Birds

Like an Alfred Hitchcock movie, whenever "Majestic Bird" is taken outdoors for an outdoor shoot, Birds (of the feathered variety) seem to be attracted to its presence. These pictures show how we were quickly joined by some very curious (and noisy) magpie's at the Australian National University grounds.

Agatha

Stainless Steel is a durable material designed for indoor or outdoor environments. It will not rust or corrode and Stainless Steel will always keep its shimmering and brilliant finish.

When creating any of his projects, George cuts the shapes and then joins them by welding. This ensures a strong and durable connection.

Grinding is then performed for smooth clean edges. The Stainless Steel is then finished with polishing or a grinding-tool to give it dramatic effect.

Above is "Agatha", a Stainless Steel resembling the Agapantha plant. Loved it on land, next to the water. Loved it even more in the water!

Brancusi Vase

Love this vase, and we have turned it upside down too as a plynth which is highly effective. Again, a Brancusi inspired shape for a base with gentle widening to the top of the vase. We have it filled with Magnolia flowers in the window - beautiful.

Mars

"Mars", or, ok it looks like a soccer ball. Wouldnt like to hit this one with our head though and I think a goalie would be diving out of it's way if it was propelled through the air.
Made out of stainless steel its an item you just want to pickup straight away and bounce it up and down in your hands. Its one of the items we will have at Old Bus Depot Markets next month, and just to let you all know (in response to a question), we are still working on the prices of the items in the lead up to opening the stall. We promise to let you know and to publish more pictures.....

Another bird...

And this one was too lovely to leave out. A wonderful image of another Brancusi bird.
Must get back to the subject of stainless steel......

Birds in Space - ANG

These two "birds" are located in the Australian National Gallery Canberra. Beautifully presented within a reflection pool. Will put the ANG link on our page to give much more information about this work and Brancusi. Thankyou ANG for giving us the opportunity to see these two continually (and for free of charge)

Partnership

and here is some of George's works (oh and us). Shall give some more close-ups (of the works...not us) and of course keep you posted on our endeavours in the market place....remember, we are at Old Bus Depot Markets all November and the first weekend in December. Hope to see you there :-)

Constantin Brancusi

Constantin Brancusi studio in Paris (above) is a living display of Brancusi's works. So many beautiful objects and a glimpse of the man that was the artist.

"Endless Column" (below) by Constantin Brancusi is located in Tg Jiu, Romania. We shall post more images of Brancusi art, and we hope you find it inspiring. We are lucky that here in Canberra at our own Australian National Gallery, there are two Birds In Space on display.

Shall post Bird photo's soon...too many beautiful images to choose from.

Elegance

George is welding away, we have been accepted into The Old Bus Depot Markets in Kingston, Canberra, for the month of November and early December. A wonderful destination for locals and tourists, the xmas markets are particularly exciting and we feel honoured to be allowed to be part of them. This is "elegance", one of Georges vases that we hope to sell. As you can see from the photo, its a lovely classic shape, but its personality is in its finish. The polishing can be varied between each vase and gives each one a differant life.
