Garrett Sculptures

2010

The design of these sculptures evolved out of an extended conversation between Karen and Sam, and our clients Stephen and Marcela - about how to express something about the Garrett family in a sculptural installation; linking a private courtyard to the day-to-day side entry to the house.

We made several quick pencil sketches of our thoughts; Stephen and Marcela then narrowed them down to a selection of four or five; and Stephen then wrote a story about what he hoped they might communicate about the family; their lives; past, present and future.

We then called in Sydney sculptor Morgan Shimeld, who very generously agreed to make them a reality.
