Artist in Residence programme 

2010 - Col Henry

LIFESAVER! LIFESAVER! from the Swell Scultpure Exhibition in September 2008

The Australian Society of Marine Artists and SydneyHeritage Fleet HF are proud to announce their new Sculptor-In-Residence has take up residency onboard the historic ferry Kanangra. Col Henry is a well known sculptor on the Central Coast, he has made some wonderful pieces for various Councils and has just recently had his work shown on the ABC. Col and three other artists were invited by the Department of Environment Climate Change (DECC) and the traditional owners of Dandry Gorge to create a series of sculptures for the public. The Dandry Gorge, Baradine NSW project was a joint project between the Aboriginal people of Dandry Gorge and DECC.

Col found the project very worthwhile and challenging as he had to transport and assemble all of his work in the bush. Col’s work stood 3 meters high and the head of each piece was made up of 20 individual pieces, which had to be assembled and polished in the bush. The “Sculptures in the Scrub” documentary was shown on the ABC on 18 October 2009.
