Broken Branches- Charlie Aquilina

Broken Branches- Charlie Aquilina

Sculptural works by Charlie are started and finished by hand. Whether chipping at stone or forging hot metal there is usually a hammer involved.

Charles Aquilina has lived in the Macedon Ranges for nearly 40 years. 

Through private commissions and public art opportunities he has developed a style that he is comfortable with, while still tweaking and having fun.

The entry titled "Broken Branches" is a statement on broken relationships, and repairing/rebuilding on strong foundations.

Medium: Forged steel, corten and copper

Price: $15,000

Charlie Aquilina

Designer Sculptor Maker for the last 30 plus years, now involved full time with private commissions and personal projects.

Entering events like the Hanging Rock exhibition gives me the opportunity to try something different.

Utilising a different skill set or using existing tools in a new way, the challenge is part of the drive. Learning something that will come into play on the next project.
