A shley Turner the Garden Path Moonscape Brown Verdite stone, 2005 33.5 x 31 x 10cm Ashley is an emerging sculptor who specialises in works of exotic stone and wood. Based in his Glen Iris studio, he has slowly accumulated a unique resource of ancient and valuable natural materials, such as Huon Pine and Green Verdite. He combines these traditional materials to push their limits as contemporary sculpture. The texture and individual characteristics of the primary raw material are carefully analysed, often influencing the final result. Ashley focuses upon overall balance and a sense of proportion in his work, with a fine finish in the detailed aspects of each piece. To date, Ashley has worked to develop two careers simultaneously. With advanced degrees in law and biochemistry, he comes to the art world with a very unique perspective and desire to build quality artwork. ‘Moonscape’ is created from a singular piece of raw Verdite stone, utilising its natural vivid colour and immense density to represent the lunar form. ‘Moonscape’ is crafted to combine both smooth and roughened textures – a topographical view of the intricacies and tranquility of the moon. Verdite, also known as ‘African Jade’ is a very rare, semiprecious stone extracted by hand from a single known mine in Zimbabwe. With a hardness of 9/10 and having a scintillating array of densely packed colours, raw verdite is virtually unobtainable and is therefore one of the most valuable and sort-after materials in the world. 52
the Garden Path Jos Van Hulsen ‘Fruits of Progress’ is part of an exploration into man’s quest to manipulate and control the natural world. We lower mountains, straighten rivers, control the temperature where we can. We modify it, sculpt it, trim and neaten it to make our lives more comfortable. But are we comforted Does all the ease, the technology, entertainment and endless consumption make us more content Is the rugged, messy and random beauty of the untouched world less beautiful than the manicured garden Do we want to be gods Or perhaps we think that if we can control nature we can somehow remove ourselves from it and from our own life cycle, thus avoiding the confrontation of our own inevitable death. Fruits of Progress Steel, ceramic, stone, glass & oil, 2007 292 x 70 x 175cm Jos was born in the Netherlands in 1963, migrating to Melbourne in 1978. He completed a Bachelor of Fine <strong>Arts</strong> in sculpture at RMIT in 1986. In 2004 his work was shown in Sculpture by the Sea at Bondi Beach, Sydney and this year he was the recipient of the Encouragement Award at the Helen Lempriere National Sculpture Award. 53
