Jasper
Description
Jasper is a quirky dude with crazy hair and a friendly face. He can come across as a bit shy but in his element with his bass guitar in his hands, or hanging of a bolder at a rock climbing centre he really comes to life! He will be providing some tunes at the main stage this year. Slap that base Jasper! (He hates it when I say that)
Jasper is made of 100% reclaimed steel and finished off beautifully by the Glass Guru with a piece of green hand made slumped glass.
For something fun and a bit different Tim decided to give employees Fraser and Jasper an opportunity to sculpt a snail self-portrait.
They were given a couple of hours and unrestricted access to the Tread boneyard of material to sculpt the faces of their snails and they embraced it with vigor. You can really see their personalities and individuality in their finished pieces.
Fraser works a couple of day a week at Tread Sculptures and is an artist and blacksmith in his own right.
He loves all things art and has extensive experience in the field as an installer for world class artists at the NGV and Sculptures by the Sea.
Jasper works at Tread around his university course. He is in his final year of Prosthetics Degree so splits his time between making artwork, making body parts, rock climbing and playing the bass guitar.
