I responded to the comment by saying that over the last 3.5 years we have been working hard to landscape our sloping block (lots of terracing and lots of gravel); and have been gradually putting sculptures in place. We buy some, exchange our art for some and just create some. I thought I would share some of the pieces that are in place.

what a fascinating space this is! there are many pieces I love... your large scale and small scale work is all so captivating... finding balance and shrine of reflection in particular...
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable forms Barry. I am quite drawn to your pod people. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment on one of my recent posts about creativity and how we shift to meet our expression in new ways. This is something we must all consider at some point in our lives...for some sooner than later...but change is inevitable and with it growth and our own inner transformation.
ReplyDeleteBarry, what a wonderful collection! I love art in outdoor settings you can meander around. Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing these images.
ReplyDeletewow Barry..utterly fantastic sculptures by you and other artists...would love to visit and take a stroll through your garden of art.. Reminds me of Donna Watsons photos of her delightfully zen back yard...
ReplyDeleteLove the structured rust piece..it's amazing how artful something so simple can become when it falls into your talented hands...
MJ, LX. TT and L - hi all - thanks for touring a bit of the block - there is more and it is growing - we are lucky to have the place and space and views. Would be happy for you to meander thru if you are ever over our way. Like D we are attempting to create a peaceful place for us and others. MJ - thanks for comment on other bits like finding balance and reflection - bit of a theme going here? L - great thing about the rusted pieces - they can merge with the landscape. LX - may we continue to support each other as we make transitions. Go well. B
ReplyDeleteoh my Barry! i knew you had beautiful things in your house ... but i certainly did not expect your home to be, well ... an art gallery!! truly fascinating to me ... i have never known anyone who resides amongst art like you and Fiona! WOW! this only happens in movies!! WOW! if only i lived nearer, i'll be visiting VERY often!
ReplyDeleteI love art in the yard! Wonderful to see yours.
ReplyDeleteLt- thanks for the excited reaction but we are not on movie standards - just working away on the block creating stuff and buying a few bits and exchanging a few bits as we go along - but we do like it and it is improving over time - and of course you are invited to visit if you are ever nearby.
ReplyDeleteT - glad you like seeing our bits and pieces. Cheers b
