Third Annual Sculpture Show and Growing!

The Third Dimension

25 September to 20 December 2011

When Jayes Gallery decided in 2009 to create the first ever annual Sculpture Exhibition for Cabonne Country, they weren't aware just how big these events can be! Inspired by the thought of providing a viable and commercial space for sculptors to show and sell their works, Jayes Gallery set up the outdoor garden area to house these large pieces. The number of art lovers now coming to Jayes to see and purchase large works is inspiring indeed.

This year, although the number of sculptures remains the same, the stature and renown of the sculptors included in the exhibition has increased and the standard of works has therefore increased substantially as well.

Extending the exhibition to include 3D objects has added another dimension to this year's event. Jewelers Sarah Whitlock and Skye Bragg, each with their own beautifully crafted pieces will surely delight those coming along. Ceramicists Simon Reece, Sugden Hamilton and Marjo Carter have produced exceptional works for this year's event. Add to these, large glassworks by Joe Shalhoub to add to the temptation of coming to Jayes Gallery and Sculpture Gardens in Molong.

Just a sneak peek past ceramic blades by Simon Reece to the marble works of Hutchinson.

14 sculptors, 2 silversmiths, 4 ceramicists, 2 glassworkers - 22 3D artists in all!

The show will be opened by Orange Regional Gallery Director, Alan Sisley on Sunday September 25 at 2 pm and everyone is welcome on the day. We look forward to bringing another stunning show of sculptures and 3D works to the region for art lovers and alike.

Marjo Carter - Outstanding Ceramics!

Born in Tasmania in 1953, and now working out of Bathurst in the Central West, Marjo Carter is an outstanding ceramicist.

Marjo tells us: "Central to the aims and objectives of my work is the integrated use of clay and hand rendered letter forms. As a calligrapher, I am interested in the particular aspects and qualities which govern calligraphy and sets calligraphic writing apart from other forms of visual text. As a potter, I am interested in using clay as the medium for writing, rather than the more traditional and familiar surfaces such as paper. This in itself, is quite a challenge as clay bodies vary enormously, and differing textures and qualities have significant impact on both choice and implementation of scripts."

The gallery invites you to come and view these beautiful statement pieces. We look forward to seeing you in Molong, just 20 minutes west of the City of Orange.
