Pyper, Sue
Sue is a fine art sculptor from Courtenay and works in a variety of media, including acrylic paint on live edge wood and more recently, mixed media sculpture. Her pieces always begin with the form suggested by the natural object and she feels that in every material arising from nature, there is an intrinsic essence that reaches beyond the corporeal. Wood, often having lived for longer than any human, embodies this intangible content. She has been enjoying her journey into the 3 dimensional world of sculpture and is looking forward to trying new materials and subjects in the near future.

“When we relate to someone from another culture, it is an expression of our collective humanity. That vulnerability, that connection, is the art. We have just made the world a smaller place.”

Martell, Larry
Graceful wood sculptures.
Rombough, Brian
Bold abstract wood and stone sculptures. Coming from a rich heritage of stone masons, I’ve always been drawn to shapes, patterns, and the inherent strength of natural materials. I endeavour to present pieces in their natural form and only alter them when structural considerations are required. Leaving a ‘live edge’ on the wood and stone accentuates the natural beauty of the piece. I’m always working at my craft and exploring new techniques to achieve my vision.

Brenan, Christa
Environmental, peace, societal and women’s issues have often been the focus of Christa’s sculptural work, gleaned from time working for nuclear weapons abolition, and peace groups. Often her works are created as a cathartic process, in the end hoping to inspire deeper enquiry in the viewer. Some pieces are figurative, or abstract – and others inspired by creation theories and myths from different cultures. Christa prefers working in marble and limestone, with some brucite and chlorite on the side. She often blocks out marble pieces using an air hammer, angle grinder and/or die grinder, then works with hand tools to design and finish. Her favourite tools remain her original three hand-made chisels, and a sweet Italian steel mallet.

Cole, Stephen
stone, wood, mixed media and life cast sculptures.
My work is inspired by the jewels I have found to be truly moving, powerful and important in this life. Through line, colour and texture, the work speaks not to the eyes, hands or intellect but through to a deeper place. A quiet and more peaceful place. It may just say “wake up – something is happening here!”
