GEOFF FARQUHAR - STILL
Over the last 20 years of professional sculpture practice, Geoff has explored a dynamic range of creative expression, from intricate small-scale machines to ambitious installations, large scale public art and interactive play environments.
With a practice firmly rooted in hands-on making activities, everyday items and architectural materials are combined to create new environments or reinterpretations of familiar objects and experiences.
His work has been included in five solo and over forty group shows around Australia.
Geoff has created work for public art projects, national memorials and architectural collaborations in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth and has been awarded site-specific and art in architecture awards, residencies, and a range of private and government commissions.
As director of Artillion Studio Geoff led a collaborative design studio which integrated Virtual and Augmented Reality design with artisan manufacturing using holographic fabrication to enable the creation of accurate, large scale and complex organic forms without the use of shop drawings.
Most recently Geoff collaborated with David Hamilton to deliver the monumental Burnie Gateway Commission - Welcome Gesture, on behalf of State Growth and the Burnie City Council.
Geoff also won the small sculpture award Blenheim Gallery Shapes in Spaces Sculpture Prize 2023
