In the Western Downs of Queensland there lies a special property – The Stiks. Sculptor Guy Breay, his wife Jan and a host of Australian wild life live in this native forest sanctuary.
Sculptures and Carving in Wood
‘Sinana’
(Papuan Mother) carved from ‘Budgeroo’
(Bush Mahogany), pictured here is an example of one of Guy’s styles,
contrasting the sensuous, curves of
the nude female form, with the rough, natural irregularities of this rare and
beautiful outback timber.
"Conception" is carved from Hairy Oak, which like Budgeroo, is another highly decorative timber found at The Stiks. Guy's inspiration for his carving comes mostly from the natural shape of the timber, such as this unusually twisted tree.
Guy's curvaceous carvings are echoes of his life in India and Papua. Many of his sensuous sculptures are named after cascading creeks that tumble from the high mountains, then twist and turn as they flow to the beautiful tropical beaches of the enchanting coastline of Papua New Guinea.
