Tony is a Winner!! |
|
TONY Nesbitt, was a founder member of SWG, and is currently the Treasurer, a position he has held for several years now. Tony joined SWG when it was first formed but then work took him to Asia for several years. On his return he couldn’t wait to get back into the swing of things. He has a fully operational workshop set up in his garage and likes nothing better than improving his carving techniques. He is also interested in sculpture and life drawing and has been a longtime member of the Tom Bass School of Sculpture and The Sculpture Society. Tony was thrilled recently to discover he was the winner of a prize from among 495 participants for an interesting sculpture that he had entered. Tony, who entered under the sculpture, ceramics and mixed media category, won the award at the recent Hornsby Art Prize Competition held at the Cherrybrook Community and Cultural Centre Tony wowed the judges with his sculpture Carbon Wax. "It's a lava lamp made out of Tasmanian Huon pine timber and 50 per cent of the dry weight of the pine is made of carbon," he said. "In the '60's we lived a much simpler life and this is what I tried to recreate — the innocence and simplicity of the lava lamp." |
