Sculpture Artist
Kim Gibbs
Re-cycle, re-use, re-purpose. Corrugated iron sculptures.
“What can I make now?” Kim’s mother was constantly plagued with this question from a very early age, particularly after watching Play School on craft days. Progressing in years Kim eagerly studied art from high school through to university, successfully exhibiting a range of art forms in galleries, halls, hotels and botanic gardens. In 2004 she pursued her ambition of creating her very own art business, and ‘All Things Art’ was born. This art journey continues today through www.allthingsart.com.au , through various on-road market adventures, and exhibitions.
Artworks
Kim has dabbled in many and varied art-forms, from painting and drawing to craft and sculpture. Today corrugated iron has her complete attention with the construction of sculptural animals. Animals are chosen that are part of Kim’s everyday life, from horses to chooks to dogs. Instant recognition of the animal in question is what Kim focuses on initially. She then fills the piece with character for creative individuality. Then to finish, each creature is lovingly named.
