Corporate Gift
A Special Gift When the Sister-City bond between Mitchell Shire, Australia and Honbetsu City, Japan celebrated it's twentieth year it was a priviledge to be be commissioned in the production of a commemorative gift. The result was "Distant Lands 'Neath Single Sun Entwined". This sculptural piece set into a section of Aussie timber shows two red tracts of land each with its specific 'terrain' entwined beneath the sun. On one land grows the Wattle and the other the Persimmon. The background texturing is reminiscent of the skies and oceans between. In the lead up to the presentation of this gift the Japanese delegation visited the Myriad Studio where I was able to show them not only the processes used in developing the piece but also the sample pieces that led to the final work. It was an amazing day where much warmth and laughter was shared! Workshop Dates 2012
