Sculpture

Tyrone’s sculpting journey began in 2007 when his strawbale garage in Mansfield burned down. He salvaged the metal, repurposed it into a sculpture, and won first prize in a local exhibition.
His father, a blacksmith, passed on his skills and knowledge, which continue to shape Tyrone’s work today. He now specialises in two forms of sculpture: outdoor metal pieces and his newest passion – landscape sculpture.

Outdoor Metal

Hand-assembled and using recycled metal, Tyrone’s sculptures include grass trees, bullrushes, garden bling (crafted from his wife’s discarded vodka bottles!), metal balls, and giant flies (inspired by fly-fishing lures). He has twice won first prize in the Mansfield Median to Rare sculpture competition and has exhibited in numerous shows, including the Toyota Art Show and the Toorak Village Art Walk. His giant flies sit at the entrance of several fly fishing lodges in New Zealand, a striking tribute to the sport he loves.

Landscape

Landscape sculpture is transient form of art, Tyrone uses native materials found at each location, reassembling them to create something new. As these sculptures are meant to belong in nature and endure only as long as nature allows, Tyrone collaborated with Tasmanian photographer Luke O’Brien to capture them in stunning photographs, now adorning the walls of many homes. Occasionally, these sculptures remain for a few weeks, captivating hikers and passers-by.

“Tyrone created a stunning metal and glass sculpture for an inner-city garden, perfectly capturing the ‘industrial garden’ theme envisioned. His creativity and skill brought a unique and beautiful focal point to the outdoor space. The sculpture not only enhances the garden’s aesthetic but also adds a unique touch of artistry that we absolutely love. Tyrone’s craftmanship is evident in every detail.”
