Artist’s Statement

Gerry states, rather tongue-in-cheek, that he graduated from “La Titan Shed Studio” at ‘Pacifique Paradise, Queensland’, (looking remarkably like his back garden) and that his first exhibitions were private studio showings (looking remarkably like mates calling in for a beer). The serious side of this though, was the encouragement he gained from all who viewed his sculpture and urged him to display it further afield.
Gerry says he wants his artwork to be ‘…raw, humourous and most definitely original. I create purely to provoke a laugh or positive comment and if that end is achieved, I am happy'. He maintains his art is ‘for a gag’, but is flattered when others appreciate the emotion of the work and share in the feeling behind it. And the reduction of land fill.
