Peace Takes Shape
Peace Takes Shape An Exhibition of Sculpture, Music and Human Connection Set among the beautiful rainforest of Mount Glorious, Peace Takes Shape is a special exhibition celebrating the life and work of Australian sculptor Graham Radcliffe (1934–2022). Twelve carefully selected sculptures invite visitors to look a little deeper, discovering the beauty, meaning and human qualities expressed in each work. Graham and his wife Margit created Phoenix Sculpture Garden over more than thirty years, guided by a shared intention to create a place of peace through art and nature. This exhibition also celebrates the opening of a newly renovated section of Graham's former workshop, bringing his sculptures into a more intimate setting where visitors can take their time, explore the works and hear the stories behind their creation. The exhibited sculptures are available for purchase , offering an opportunity to bring an original work by Graham Radcliffe into your home or collection. Special evening events Throughout the exhibition, three unique experiences explore sculpture through different senses can be booked here:
• Sound Meditation with Elena: Thursday 10th December 6-8pm. Discover the deeper qualities of selected sculptures through reflection and a beautiful sound meditation.
• An Evening of Food with Joel: Tuesday 8th December 5:30-8pm. Enjoy cooking, delicious food and good company surrounded by art.
• Classical Guitar with Michael Knopf: Friday 11th December 5-7pm. Experience classical compositions and live improvisations inspired by individual sculptures. Graham listened to classical music throughout his working life, and in a very personal sense, the sculptures remember his hands and the music that accompanied their creation.
