2018 WALCHA SCULPTURE SYMPOSIUM (WSS)
This was a week long event providing a unique opportunity to observe the creative process (concept to creation) of five professional artists working on outdoor sculpture.
These sculptures were then to become permanent additions to Walcha’s Open Air Gallery.
The WSS also consisted of several micro events throughout the week; 'Meet the Artists Dinner', an 'Open Studio Afternoon' where the public could observe the works in progress and engage with the artists, an 'Exhibition Opening' of the participating artist's previous works, 'Public Guided Tours of the Open Air Gallery' and finally the 'Sculpture Concluding Show'.
The event was funded through Regional Arts Fund NSW, Walcha Council and the Community.
THE SCULPTURE
A playful homage to the much loved and well used community hall/chapel that has become an icon of the Australian rural landscape.
THE ARTIST
Dale Miles is a Sydney based artist whose work encompasses a diverse range of approaches to sculpture that include timber and stone carving, modelling, casting, timber and steel construction, drawing and painting.
He graduated from the National Art School in Sydney in 2006 with Honours and has studied Ancient and Renaissance Art in Italy and France. Among other prestigeous awards, he was the recipient of the Sculpture by the Sea Major prize at Cottesloe in 2016.
