23.01.2022 This new work "Uniting A Nation" (working title) is currently being readied for transport, bound for South Australia. The sculpture is 50 feet high x 21 feet wide x 14 feet deep, weighs 5 tonnes and is made from aluminium. The installation site is on the River Torrens, surrounded by the Adelaide Oval, the Adelaide Concert Hall, the Don Dunstan Theatre, Adelaide University and the South Australian Museum of Contemporary Art. It has taken 4 years to arrive to this point. The wo...rk celebrates nature, science, philosophy, the 200 nations and cultures who call Australia home and especially our indigenous brother and sisters. There is not one straight line within the entire work. These images are of the work standing at the studio, then being craned to ground, to be readied for transportation in about 3 months. A police escort will accompany the work, both front and back, all the away to Adelaide. I hope you like it. See more
22.01.2022 This new work is from a cast stainless steel pierce I had laying around in the studio for about 10 years. I have polished it up and planted it into a lovely piece of Ironbark. The Ironback is a leftover section of the Pyrmont Bridge restoration, completed about 23 years ago. The work stands around 1.5 metres high and is cast from 316 stainless steel.
20.01.2022 This new bronze bust is slightly larger than life size, completed about two weeks ago. The subject is of my dear and cherished friend, Basil Sellers.
16.01.2022 Many many thanks to all family and friends who have so generously commented on the past 3 works I have posted. Fortunately, these will be the last for some time now, as we are preparing my large 50 foot work bound for Adelaide, which will require around 4 to 5 months. Warmest regards, Terrance
12.01.2022 Have just completed the patination on this larger than life-size new cast bronze bust of "The King". It was the second head I cast while creating my Elvis Presley figure for Parkes last year.
11.01.2022 This new work is cast bronze, 1 metre high, Titled "Inseparable From Nature" It is part of a series I began in 1987.
11.01.2022 I would like to thank everyone for the very welcomed comments on my Tayla Harris sculpture. Given this sculpture was only the fiberglass replica, specially made and displayed to invigorate further national conversation about equality, misogyny etc.I am very thankfully that throughout the national press, it has generally been received well, and generated mostly thoughtful, positive and supportive comments for the campaign against inequality and bullying. Unfortunately, all the negative comments, (only a few), all aimed at Tayla, were from men who still don't get it!!
08.01.2022 Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who so kindly offered their congratulations re my receiving an OAM for my contribution to the arts. It was very much appreciated. Secondly, I designed these two new sculptures about 10 years ago as part of a stainless steel quartet. However, I thought they might came up well in another metal, so have to cast them again just recently, in bronze. The theme of these works has emerged from the ocean's abundance. Sea creatures, shells, drift wood, etc.
06.01.2022 I completed this cast bronze figure of Tayla Harris about 3 weeks ago. This work is my second figure, of the now famous photograph by Michael Wilson. My first figure being a fiberglass replica specifically created for an event at Federation Square, in Melbourne, last year.This new cast bronze will be installed at the entrance of Marvel Stadium in Docklands, hopefully during September this year; all going well re C19.
02.01.2022 This is my original clay model before making the mould.
01.01.2022 To all friends on facebook. My daughter has just advised me that someone has hacked my account and is using my photographs to build their own site. So please do not accept a second invite from me at this moment. Thank you.
01.01.2022 This new work is 2.3 metres high and made from Corten Steel with a cold cast bronze surface finish. It was an exceedingly difficult exercise, to finally arrive at a beautifully balanced form, given each section is a different height, width and depth than the other. However, I believe it is now done and I am happy with the outcome. 'INTERCONNECTION' We are all, each one of us, unique; with differing points of view, and differing in size, gender and culture; and yet; utterly interconnected!
01.01.2022 These new photographs represent 5 months work, sculpting a 3D representation of Michael Willson's now famous photograph of Tayla Harris kicking a goal during an AFL match in Melbourne. This sculpture was commission with the explicit intent to widen a national conversation about misogyny, inequality and electronic bullying. This work depicted is a cold cast replica. The real bronze is currently in production and will be ready for installation early next year.
