Yering Station Sculpture Exhibition and Awards Opening – 2022

After working for much of last year on my kinetic sculpture, Manifold, and installing last week at Yering Station in the Yarra Valley, the opening is coming up on Sunday the 27th of Feb.  It’s a great day to have a picnic in the grounds, or lunch in one of the restaurants, and to see loads of great sculpture.  I’ve always loved showing work at Yering Station, hope to see you there!

Manifold is one of the most complex kinetic sculpture’s that I’ve made, and I hope one of the most mesmerizing.  See https://www.instagram.com/alex.sanson/ for work in progress shots or below for some finished pics or the link for video and more info about the work.

My new work Murmuring Mk2 will be on show, come have a play!  Work in progress pics here and finished pics and video here.

In a similar theme to Murmuring, it’s very much inspired by the massed flight of starlings in a murmuration – budgerigars do a similar sort of thing which is convenient as the feathers are discarded by my kid’s budgies.

Together so much more than apart, many of us, we do become more, something new, with a life of its own, still independent but very much inter-dependent too.  Murmuring mk2 is a play on this, on the beautiful pattern and chaos that can emerge from the contradictions in a life both bound and free.

25x25x25cm, stainless steel, brass, bearings, budgie feathers.
