Tide fills, rests, runs

Influenced by the vast empty plains of the Wimmera landscape he calls home, Dónal Molloy-Drum's sculptural practice looks at the relationships between volume and space, and is inspired by both the micro and macro. Without mimicking any specific specimen found within the Australian landscape, the organic, biomorphic shapes in his sculptures appear connected to the natural world. Favouring utilitarian materials such as wood, plaster, concrete, stainless steel, and more recently the inclusion of blown glass, Molloy-Drum intentionally pushes the limits of his materials to construct his polished, abstract, lively forms.
