SCOTT SHEIL

Having been gardener for many years I have spent a lot of time observing the natural world and feel this is my main source of inspiration.  I find the shapes and patters in plants, animals and the world around us endlessly fascinating.  Living in East Gippsland, basically in the bush, provides me with the opportunity to absorb its’ influence without thinking too much.  I work mainly with hand tools and enjoy the quiet that offers me, often just listening to the birds.  I use three different grades of stone, they all have different qualities, textures, colour, limitations and advantages.  I feel I am constantly learning and developing along the way.

All pieces are carved from Mt Gambier limestone.
