Todd Stuart is bringing his beautifully finished work to Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show for the third time now. Every year he's surprised us with a new idea.
Here he talks about one of his two works in the 2014 show:
ORGANIC PEBBLE’
I enjoy creating forms that have a desirable mix of emotions. I find that many shapes formed in nature contain this mix of emotions and that engage and inspire me. Take for example a pebble that has been shaped and polished after years on the floor of a river bed, it contains many compound and soft changing curves but also many different planes of shape. At first glance nature shows us an object that is harmonious, balanced & calming with its soft natural asymmetry. There is nothing aggressive or offensive. But then a second observation of emotions is experienced, subliminally there is a dynamic energy created from the many hidden angles & planes so cunningly hidden by nature’s soft curves & organic shaping.
It is by these same principles I believe we can also be inspired to create beautiful objects that bring us feelings of peace & harmony but also subliminally radiate a dynamic uplifting energy which can only be good for us to gain new effectiveness in our lives. I hope through my creations that I also may enhance the environments of others as they subliminally feel the benefits I have described above.
