Andre Sardone creates unique sculptural works in a mud brick studio in Mandurang, just outside Bendigo.
Living surrounded by box ironbark forest, the natural world influences and informs Andre’s work, which has an organic aesthetic. A recent series of works was based around the birds and native grasses on his property.
With a focus on sustainability his arts practice is based around using predominately waste and reclaimed materials.
The style of Andre’s work varies greatly. His interest in the possibility of movement has inspired research into kinetics and applied mechanics.
‘Shimmer’ is the latest in this series of works which explores kinetic concepts to produce movement and reflection of light. Activated by the wind, the motion produced is eye catching and calming. The structure of this piece is influenced by nature’s design of the dandelion.
