Silvio’s new sculpture, “Water and Stone” has been installed along the walkway between the old and new developments in the shopping centre. There are bronze geckos on the other side of the base. His colleague Peter Syndicas has had a suspended, 10m “twig” sculpture installed in the new section.

Silvio will again be demonstrating woodcarving at the Port Elliot Show.

Silvio took the stone sculptors to Wirrealpa Station via Blinman in the Flinders Ranges. It was a wonderful experience, especially for the newer members of the group, sourcing rock, carving and exchanging stories. All are eager to repeat the exercise in 2025. Silvio and a couple of colleagues also have work on display at the exhibition, “A Brush with Art”, in the Blinman Hall. Open daily 10am – 4pm until October 14th. Gold coin entry. Contact Karen: 08 8648 4874.
