About the artist

Benjamin Gilbert’s passion for sculptural form began in his father’s old green shed, where a metal table and an antique vice were the tools of his childhood imagination.

“I grew up having a shed with absolutely no rules,” says Gilbert of his early life in Yackandandah, a country town in northeast Victoria. “We made a lot of cubby houses!”

Following his passion for creating things with his hands, coupled with the practical sensibility of a rural upbringing, Gilbert went on to study furniture design, but managed to fail sculpture.
