For the 2025 Claremont Art Awards & Exhibition, I wanted to really push both my skills and the material with this one-off experimental reinterpretation of Featherby House. Balancing clean, almost impossibly thin columns with a more brutal frame featuring voids and exposed aggregate.
I don't know how, but I managed to win the Sculpture Award! Just beyond grateful!
The judges' words:
"There is a technical skill which is evident in the work. The work celebrates the modernist architectural work of Iwan Iwanoff in WA, which, although worthy of international attention, has somewhat flown under the broader society's radar. It engages the viewer to find out more and maybe posits 'be careful what you destroy in the name of progress.' It also recalls remnants of ancient monuments, perfect in some areas and degraded in others, yet retaining their presence and importance."
The exhibition is still open until 22nd Aug. Check out the amazing works on display and vote for your fav for the popular choice award!
