Dudley Siviour's recycled metal art pieces continue to be popular among Artworx visitors, with the Prime Minister's office recently commissioning three kangaroos for presentation to a foreign delegation and the Orroroo Disctrict Council extending its display of Dudley's work, commissioning two stockhorses to join a number of kangaroos he made for the town square in 2008.
Meanwhile, Greg Foster’s amazing water features have taken the eye of collectors in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney.
His strelitzia copper pieces are real works of art, with water trickling from the flower head onto the broad copper leaves, which patinate over time.
The bullrushes flow water from the head of the cylindrical seed pod at the top of the stem.
Both water features have proven to be real head-turners in the rear courtyard at Artworx.
Mike Barr completed a very successful term as Artworx artist in residence over the Christmas-New Year period, with a number of local artists calling in to look over his shoulder while he worked and discerning buyers snapping up fresh works before the paint was even dry.
And in a great debut for Artworx newcomer - Katie Wyatt - three of her stunning large and mystical goddess works have sold withing hours of being hung.
Also new to Artworx is Victoria's Carol Sherlock, whose quirky images of young women, young mothers and beach babes have been an instant hit.
We hope to have new works from Carol some time in March 2010.
