DO you think you could make works of art out of used sinks, clothes dryer drums, mattress springs or roofing?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly what local sculptor Andre Sardone has done for five new pieces recently installed at the Strathfieldsaye Transfer Station.<\/p>\n

Marking the entryway to the site is the giant Sinkosphere<\/em>, a two-metre installation made entirely out of sinks, while inside visitors will find the Mechanical Magpie<\/em> born out of old bike parts, two Shimmering Walls <\/em>pieces featuring cascading, reflective circles hand carved from dryer drums, and a giant recycling symbol made using roof sheets and downpipes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sardone said the transfer station was a regular spot to find materials for his sculptures and he hoped the installations would prompt more conversation about bringing new life to old possessions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe landfill in Eaglehawk is nearing capacity and it\u2019s a real problem for us in Bendigo and the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to become creative with ways to deal with our waste better and to reuse and recycle as much as we can to protect the planet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s really cool making sculptures out of what people would normally have thrown away, keeping it out of landfill and creating something interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sinkosphere<\/em> alone took 10 days of work, with a City of Greater Bendigo grant awarded for Sardone\u2019s time on the five sculptures. He said the series\u2019 most \u201cunusual\u201d piece had already gained plenty of traction.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of my artwork is rounded and I thought Sinkosphere<\/em> would be a good challenge for myself. I\u2019d never seen anything like it before, so I thought I\u2019d give it a go,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was harder than I thought but it has gotten a bigger response than almost anything I\u2019ve ever made. It\u2019s very unusual to see something made out of kitchen sinks.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sculptures will live permanently at the transfer station, and Sardone said plans are already in place to make more statement pieces from recycled materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
