Two great Australian artists.
Sculpture at Bathers 2017
At the heart of this artist run exhibition is the overriding belief that it is
important to promote and embed the works of our Western Australian
artists in the consciousness of local, national and international audiences.
We need to do what we can to build identity, recognition and longevity of
practice. We aspire to provide a platform for the discussion and critical
review of sculpture both by informed observers and the wider public.
We strive for the best possible installation
support, documentation, graphics,
merchandising, media and communication
with visitors. Catalogues will be free to our
audience, they will have a tangible record of
the event, as will our artists. We want visitors
to leave Bathers Beach knowing there is
something special about Western Australian
Sculpture.
A committee of 16 or so dedicated volunteers
have made this show possible. They have
used their special skills for the past 12
months with autonomy and commitment
taking high levels of responsibility, interacting
with artists and building relationships and
camaraderie.
The support we have received from the
City of Fremantle, The Department of Culture
and the Arts, The Esplanade Hotel, our listed
sponsors and donors is crucial, valued and
respected, we hope and expect that they
are all rewarded in return.
Take a critical eye to the event, a DNA
sample, enjoy the experience and value
our artists.

Palm fronds, agave, gumnut seed pods,
acrylic paint
110 x 50 x 50cm
Price: $2,500
8 | Sculpture at Bathers 2017
If you are walking on the beach in Shark Bay, WA
you need to be very careful, for if you stand on a
Stonefish you would certainly need an emotional
rescue! Janine McAullay Bott often weaves the
humour of her Nyoongah cultural background
into her work, in this instance both the humour
and memories of her sailing history in Hawaii on
a yacht named EMOTIONAL RESCUE are behind
the theme of this lovable big-lipped fish, with
reference to Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones.

Abdul-Rahman Abdullah is an emerging West
Australian artist whose practice explores the
different ways that memory can inhabit familial
space. Expanding on the narrative capacity
of animal archetypes, crafted objects and the
human presence, Abdullah aims to create a
physical dialogue between the natural world
and the agency of culture.

Lament of the Labellum
– Transfiguration 1 2017
Reclaimed sterling silver on beading thread.
33 x 6.5 x 4.5cm
Price: $2,200
10 | Sculpture at Bathers 2017
The Labellum is the medial orchid petal - its sole
purpose is to attract a pollinator. The labellum
(also known as the lips) is the landing pad for
fertilization; it is a point of attraction, connection
and the continuation of life. In the Lament of
the Labellum – Transfiguration I have removed
the labellum with it’s column from the common
Singapore orchid. The plant parts are then cast in
recycled silver, cut, sanded, filed and drilled. The
stringing together of these parts is an attempt to
create the form of a backbone.

Endless nameless 2016
Stainless steel tube
40 x 60 x 40cm
Price: $4,400
Little Counter 2010
Electronics, aluminium
50 x 30 x 30cm
Price: $7,700
Miik is a painter and sculptor, who works from his
Maylands studio. Endless Nameless is a sculptural
work, combining sections of mirror-finished
couplings, that shift and change according to the
placement of curves and joins. Section by section,
movement emerges as a methodical, Escheresque
rhythm: in transition, a sum of its parts. His works
draw from ideas of constraint, tension and conflict
in art’s practice.
Little Counter is a miniature, single-digit version of
the 9-digit “Counter” artwork that was exhibited in
Perth, Cottesloe, Bondi and Aarhus between 2009
and 2014. Little Counter is sensitive to human
movement and increments by one when it detects
a new movement pattern. Occasionally, it performs
a special “dance”, in response to a stimulus.

Half Empty / Half Full: Green Tree 2016
Hydrostone, acrylic, vinyl tube and fittings,
air freshener
42 x 46 x 8cm
Price: $1,400
This work is one from a series loosely titled ‘Half
Empty / Half Full’ which seeks to highlight the
closed nature of our environment. In these works
cheap, often disposable objects, such as air
fresheners and balloons are given the opportunity
to be lifesavers or slow executioners, depending
on your point of view.

The ceramic slip cast shells juxtapose with the soft

our current dilemma of living with plastic. How will
we evolve?

D’Ark 2016
Wood, steel, paint
120 x 40 x 150cm
Price: $2,500
Curiously, there is an historical paucity of botanical
references in the biblical story of Noah’s Ark.
In this fictional reconstruction, the Ark is at a
point of crisis: are the hybrid templates and
botanical specimens being jettisoned? Or are they
purposefully cast as the flood vacillates?

Welcome Home 2015
Ghostnet (abandoned fishing net and rope),
recycled books, frypans, egg flips, marine debris
welded steel frame.
Variable
Price: $20,000
Welcome Home - a place of displacement. Its
people, the land, animals and marine life changed
by the impacts of ghostnet (abandoned fishing
nets and rope) and the all engulfing deluge of
marine debris found floating in the oceans and
resting on the shores. Welcome Home evolved
from time I spent in one of Australia’s ghostnet
‘hotspots’ at Mapoon, in Cape York.

The Static of Nature 2017
South sea pearl, porcelain,
electronic device, motor, wood plinth
117 x 30 x 30cm
Price: $3,500
A south sea pearl is slowly rocked back and
forth on the surface of a white unglazed ceramic
surface. Employing both natural and site specific
materials; a West Australian pearl, porcelain and
wood. The work references nature’s repetition and
subtle variation, the passage of continuous water
erosion across sand, the ebb and flow of sound,
and the creation of the pearl itself.

My artwork reflects my thoughts of the women
settlers to colonial Australia. The sculpture focuses
on the embroidery crafts, by translating them into a
complex and hand crafted unique copper art piece.
I have developed a unique and highly crafted set of
skills to contrive an imaginative fusion of ideas and
materials in my work.

300 x 300 x 8cm
Price: $15,000
The Starfish is the current destination on my artistic
journey in working with these materials: steel,
stone and wood. Taking inspiration once again
from the sea, the stylised starfish, poised on the
edge of the Indian Ocean, lunges gracefully into
the warrior yoga pose.

As a child (and still) I enjoyed beach combing
hoping to find some weird creature unknown to
science washed ashore. As I never did discover
this elusive creature I had to create my own. Genus
Questionablus is a combination of different species
of marine life washed up and decomposing. The
sculpture might ask questions about the state
of our oceans, the Great Barrier Reef springs to
mind. Or is it a Fukushima fish somehow related
to Godzilla?

‘I’m sitting on yet another plane and my mind is

concerned with the design and fabrication of
large scale public works.

Hydration Plant (Ventilator) 2016
Steel, steel components
200 x 80 x 50cm
Price: $3,800
Hydration Plant is a weird combination of a cactus
plant and a fire hydrant. Both rely on water to
survive in an urban or rural environment.

Peter Zappa
Lines on the sand 2017
Mild steel pipe, forged/shaped/welded and painted
120 x 120 x 20cm
Price: $6,600
The sculpture is a three dimensional interpretation
of a drawing: the sculpture plays with perception;
how we perceive something isn’t always what we
expect it to be.
The Seed Pod 2014
Steel, hot dip galvanised and painted
150 x 160 x 250cm
Price: $18,000
We take for granted the process that seeds have
in their memory. Store a seed for years and it
remains a seed, but add water and the miracle
continues. It becomes what it was programmed
to become. Within my sculpture is a sprouted
seed. Have a look.

Penelope’s Web 2016
Forged and welded steel, galvanized and painted
230 x 200 x 191cm
Price: $15,000
This work is based on an ancient symbol that
relates to the mythological figure of Penelope, who
wove the thread of destiny in the old world. I was
interested in the wheel like formation of the symbol
and the interlaced pattern that is a reference to
Penelope’s loom.

Indian Ocean Sun Shower 2017
Marine ply, copper, stainless steel, brass
40 x 30 x 50cm
Price: $2,700
This artwork is about preservation and the active
part we each play in attempting a rescue. It’s about
the power of water in our lives and being prepared.
It’s about using old ways to see a new future. This
work is a sound work inspired by theatrical sound
techniques and the surf-reel line rescue.

Ahoy 2017
Native timber, sea rope, steel
90 x 120 x 60cm
Price: $3,200
Ahoy is a cry for attention. As much as it may
sound like an exciting life style unfortunately some
great challenges come with life at sea. Ahoy is a
visual representation of feelings experienced by
people living and working at sea and experiencing
signs of mental instability.

Cilia 2017
Wrought steel and patinated copper

Price: $9,800
Under an electron microscope the trachea and
fallopian tubes are convincingly nautical. Cilia is
one of a number of sculptures I have made since
a research residency (UWA Symbiotica 2005),
which explore the similarity between oceanic forms
and sites in the human body.

Crocheted polypropylene, bird wire armature
25 x 100 x 180cm
Price: $15,000
Mikaela Castledine grew up in the unconventional
house of an artist and a craftsman, so naturally fell
into art and making as a way of life. She studied
biology, interior design and has a Masters in writing
and literature. These various areas of interest
feed into her work which encompasses animal
behaviour, architecture and story telling.

(Edition of 10) framed version price neg.
The Port of Fremantle has been witness to many scenes of farewell.
The Bride scans the horizon towards the Indian Ocean for signs of
her solider to return. The recurring and ephemeral memory of their
parting plays out in a “moving” portrait that captures their longing
and despair.

Harbour Master 2016
Mixed media
200 x 60cm
Price: $2,800
The sight of the old mortuary on Bathers Beach
and the presence of the Harbour Master, who
housed many early Australian convicts around
the mid 1800’s has inspired a rich and evocative
atmosphere, still redolent in many of the early
locations about Perth. My ‘Harbour Master’ is
intended to read as a figurative embodiment of an
aspect of these turbulent early beginnings.

Comet Landing 2017
Bronze, steel
150 x 150 x 150cm
Price: $12,000
Composed of frozen ice and ash the Comet
irregular shape shifter disintegrates with each
passing, hardly making a sound. The motion trail
leaves a momentary visible trace, brilliant in its
breaking down, inaudible in frequency.

Steel, bronze, timber and marble
187 x 51 x 25cm
Price: $15,000
30 | Sculpture at Bathers 2017
‘Receptacle 1’ is a site specific work. It draws
on my wider preoccupation with visual symbols
for oppositions such as internal and external,
concealment and exposure, life and death. From a
formal perspective, it reflects my interest in shape,
contour, structure, space and a reduction of signs
to their elemental presence.

Building Blocks 2017
Ceramic, steel, stone, wood, concrete
Variable.
Price: $5,000
In this work there is a sense of whimsy amongst
the structures. Using reused recycled and re
purposed materials as an intentional form of
expression has allowed this collection of objects to
evolve to become something new. Paint your roof
white, grow seeds, there is only a fleeting time in
the world.

Clouds 1,2,3 2014 -16
Powder coated aluminium
Approx 110 x 112cm
Price: $4,500 each
The series of Cloud sculptures are three
dimensional, multi purpose objects which can be
manipulated in a range of ways, being adaptable to
a wall or a floor placement. They can be folded in
many different configurations, and as such have no
fixed form, like a cloud.

Richie Kuhaupt
Proto Persona 2017
Steel plate
180 x 60 x 35cm
Price: POA
The work has come from a series of maquettes
produced from card for a public art project in
collaboration with Nyoongah artist Rod Garlett and
Chaney Architecture. At the time it was a simple
way to describe a more elaborate final design but
they have a simple elegance worth exploring at
scale. This is a step in that process.

Generator 2017
Galvanised steel, wood, acrylic paint
250 x 150 x 100cm
Price: $4,000
A wind driven visual poem, empowering
contemporary society to move onwards.
33 | Sculpture at Bathers 2017
Rapunzel, the name of the young woman in the
folk tale, is derived from the European word for
the oilseed plant rape, known in Australia as
canola. A being untethered from its story is a
dangerous thing in this slow changing landscape.
I thought it timely to bring this fragment of the
narrative ashore, to seek out the croplands and
learn a new grammar.

Stone and barrier fencing

34 | Sculpture at Bathers 2017
Divide is a project that examines the human
condition bound by limits and possibilities. It acts
as a device that may unite or separate the viewer
from art.

The spiral form is encountered so frequently in the
natural world. The artist interprets this as nature’s
signature.

Entitlement 2 2017
Ectoplasm
175 x 40 x 30 approx
Price: NFS
‘Entitlement 1’ was a speculation on our
entitlement by virtue of being born human and
out of concerns about my country’s attitude to
universal human rights. It was about where we
come from, what we are born with, what we leave
behind and where we go.
‘Entitlement 2’, I hope is much the same.

Rambo is the ‘Iconic Merino’. He is a reminder
of when Australia rode on the sheep’s back,
when wool was a major export and the woolstores in Fremantle were still wool-stores buzzing
with activity.

Withy and the Path of Light 2017
Found vinyl and leather
200 x 150 x 300cm
Price: $3,000
The two markers Port and Starboard echo the
adjacent Fremantle Port entry and are familiar
signs navigating passage.
The forms are intended to motivate the viewer
towards their own actualisations. We are all faced
with adversity that we can overcome through focus
and celebration of the positive. I’m suggesting that
we expect our freedom to be framed within a safe
structure.

Price: $3,000
39 | Sculpture at Bathers 2017
Have you ever found a shark egg? What a magical
experience, filled with delight and hope in unknown
possibilities. The delight of finding sea treasure,
enhanced by fear and respect for the mysteries
that lay beneath the surface of the waves.

Painted aluminium

Price: $15,000
India: life’s extremes. During a recent trip,
India provided an orgiastic feast for my senses,
compelling me to understand and accept the
vast inequalities in this world. My puja flower
offering calls for a LOVE revolution, raising the
consciousness of all, creating abundance for all…
Om mani pad me hum.

Grace Under Pressure (Homage to Rush)
2017
Corten steel, jarrah, enamel, acrylic paint
280 x 170 x 30cm
Price: $16,500
This work continues an area of my practice
exploring formalism. ‘Grace under pressure’
alludes to our attempts at living with some
semblance of balance or togetherness, while
impact and influence from the world around us
teems with angst and tension from all directions.

Supernova 2016
Steel nuts, recycled jarrah
370 x 310 x 310cm
Price: $ 41,000
41 | Sculpture at Bathers 2017
‘Supernova’ is a snapshot in time. It is
the abstraction of the moment when a star dies
in a massive explosion paused like a photo. 99
jarrah wood ‘particles’, which are ‘accelerating’
with diverse lengths, connected in the centre give
a feeling of speed and expansion. A supernova is a
death, but it appears as something new and alive.
It is alive and exploding, reaching its peak volume
and at its most beautiful stage, just before it starts
to fade and finally collapse. An explosion unites
birth and death in the shortest possible moment.

Stainless steel, enamel paint

Price: $7,300
42 | Sculpture at Bathers 2017
Last of a series of ‘Aftermaths’. Memories of
winter’s heavy rains and winds. Tree branches
strewn over the ground; winter creek bed’s plants
uprooted, twisted, tangled chaos. And soon begins
the re-growth, returning slowly to ‘normal’ before
the next winter.

Polystyrene, fibreglass, synthetic grass,

220 x 240 x 150cm
$22,450
I use the road water barrier to build my ‘suburban
legends’, as these barriers are now a common
object within our urban landscape, and I use bronze
to turn legend into memory. The materials bookend
two periods of civilisation: from the bronze age to
the plastic age.

Point of View 2017
Powder coated mild steel,
stainless steel mirror finish
300 x 225 x 188cm
Price: $26,000
‘Point of View’ is a sculpture questioning how
we view our world and how our responses can
be shaped. Believe in your own judgement by
what you see to be real not by that you hear
from others.
This sculpture celebrates a time and place where
elephants break free from our interference.
The elephant structure itself, is encapsulated in
green synthetic grass, which symbolizes freedom
and greener pastures. Rigid metal tusks act as
a protective barrier, while the elephant stands
‘crushing’ the very object which held him restrained
for so many years.

Using metal buckets and rubbish bins, Little Ben’s
‘bells’ chime the Westminster Quarters every 15
minutes to mark the time of day.
This work consists of guns and weapons created
by my 12-year-old nephew built as simple toys for
play. I have reimagined them as a sinister tableau
designed by a paranoiac who has lost touch with
his innocence.

Mixed media, found objects
Variable
Price: $850 - $2000
The work is a series of transportable cloud
trollies. Transportable so as to be used in time
of drought, available at short notice in time of
crisis. Each trolley expresses aspects of global
warming through found objects, reflecting time
and place as well as a geopolitical context to
the issue.

My intention with this work is to create a ‘Portal’

Wood (jarrah), stainless steel, steel
200 x 150 x 150cm
Price: $8,500
The title ‘Train Stop’ refers to the previous life
of the steel plates in this sculpture. The work is
created from discarded railway track spike plates
sourced from the wheat belt . They have been
welded together to form a cube.
Japan is home to many butterflies that are not
only beautiful, but also robust enough to fly for
long distances. It is even said that some of them
can travel across the sea. The Bathers Beach arts
precinct gives them some breathing space after
their long voyage.

I am interested in the ways commonplace
objects can be reconfigured and redeployed
to communicate and represent concepts
of identity and territory. This sculpture uses
ubiquitous domestic shovels to consider
individuality and conformity.

I wanted to transform one of these flashing
message boards into artwork by changing the
meaning and nature of the text. From roadside
directions, to advice and insights about love today.
I find this to be the opposite of its original intention
and quite amusing.

residency at Claremont School of Art (1996)
resulted in enduring friendships and a

An elegant, simply constructed and designed
apparatus that is both kinetic sculpture and
a maker of beautiful drawings.
