Describe your experienceMidcareer
Artist Statement for the Website

Following an academic career as a clinical researcher [PhD Anatomy], Kevin retired to Injidup to build a house, establish workshop spaces to enable the fitout, followed by landscaping and building rock walls. Then an epiphany – what about welding? So in 2020 off to his steel fabricators for advice on equipment, materials and the affair with metal began.
His inspiration for his house design and subsequent creative projects stems from the timeless Japanese aesthetic of elegant simplicity. From face-work rock walls, Torii gates, concrete/steel Yukimi lanterns, Bonsai trees, mechanical tensegrity structures, to intricate steel hands used to support planetary spheres, he is not daunted by scope or complexity. His philosophy is: “If I can sketch it, I can create it”. His grandfather used to say “Just start… then you will learn.” Nowadays YouTube fills in the gaps along with long-suffering colleagues across the steel trades.
His steel grapevines, small Bonsai tree sculptures, and his owls and eagles often incorporate 24Kt gold leaf. All one-off pieces utilise repurposed steel, concrete, plus indigenous timbers & stone from the region. A four metre wingspan Corten steel Wedge-tailed eagle greets visitors to his property and another large windvane eagle circles above his workshop/gallery at Injidup. Several kinetic and wind-vane sculptures incorporate eagles in their design so visitors will see these numerous raptors swoop and spin in the breeze.
Most sculptures are highly tactile and invite interaction by visitors, especially children who are intuitively drawn to learn about things through touch. The next major project will be to design and build a gallery space to house the smaller art works and prints.

Studio Details

Briefly describe your studio space (is it in your home, shed, farm etc, is it filled with light, is it tiny or cavernous?) & can you provide a taste of what visitors will see and experience there?

For some, an engineering workshop is a feast for the eyes. Equipment and tools everywhere, bins of steel offcuts, a fine layer of black dust covering everything but the excitement is electric as you see the transformation from the imagined to the finished piece. Multiple projects on the go depending upon materials or to allow problem solving. Plus of course, the obligatory shipping container full of steel offcuts and discarded engineering treasures which helps fuel inspiration.

Describe the kind of interactive experience you may provide to visitors. E.g. are you demonstrating your art practice?

For OHS reasons, welding, cutting & grinding will not be part of the experience, so visitors will be entertained by the visual feast of steel and great conversation. A coffee van will be on site during the weekends to cater for the caffeine cravings of the crowds.

Are you sharing a studio with another artist?Yes
If yes – who are you sharing with?Local painter – Gina Denford
