Art naive with chair

Sabine and her father Michael have been to Sculptures by the Sea together every year since she was a toddler. Clearly inspired by what she has seen over the years, Sabine created this sculpture from the materials found in her favourite play space; the backyard.  Although she is still a child, she still felt the pull of the art world all by herself, and her creativity was only discovered by her father when he became suspicious of the entire lack of noise coming from the back garden and he went to investigate.

In this work she combines her own wellingtons and toys with adult sized green plastic chairs.  By placing the pink fluffy rabbit upon the pedestal of adult furniture, it is evident that although she embraces growing older, she still values her childish spirit above all else.
