"Wood to Bronze" exhibition by Rick Swain
Rick Swain began sculpting in the early eighties. The sense of freedom he found in the creation of abstract forms in wood was a welcome alternative to his background in engineering design and photography. Working often with demolition materials, he transforms native and exotic timbers into large sculptural vessels with ceremonial overtones, or abstract sculptures evoking moods as diverse as birth and the shaping force of the wind.

"The process of 'creating' allows me to escape some of the madness and aggression in our world. Should the finished work portray the calm, balance & simplicity I seek, I am content".

Rick's unique works reflect his love of human and natural forms and his deep understanding of this warm organic medium. His works are to be found in private, corporate, and government collections in New Zealand and throughout the World.
