Decomporsi Sculpture, Port Macquarie

Decomporsi
By Roberto Giordani
2018

The sculpture was created during a masterclass at Eveleigh Works metal studio, led by internationally renowned artist, teacher and designer Roberto Giordani. A number of blacksmith artists from the Port-Macquarie Hastings region forged elements included in the sculpture.

Decomporsi was inspired by Giordani’s love of the ocean and his appreciation of its delicate ecosystem, while alluding to his frustration towards the pollution of our seas, and the culling of our sea life.

‘Decomporsi shows the majesty and elegance of the shark, yet its body is decaying, sloughing, suffering and falling apart and dying. Will we take any notice and act/react? Only time will tell.’
