Sian Faber

Biography

Contact

 

A Fine Art graduate from Auckland, New Zealand,Sian has lived and worked in Sydney, Australia for over 30 years, focusing on seascapes and fluid movement in her painting practice. 
 In Andalucia, Spain, Sian has found her European ‘voice’ incorporating the mountainous landscape into wall sculptures of stone and glass.
 
From her Gaucin studio looking down the old bandido trails to the Mediterranean,Gibraltar, & Morocco, she has adapted Byzantine mosaic traditions (learnt in Italy) to perfect her ‘ShardCut’ technique. Sian upends hand-cut shards of stained plate glass into coloured cements, to create textures of flowing movement, like blades of sea grass. The constant reflection of light on the glass creates a visual magic, rippling as on the surface of water, revealing what the sun knows: that diamonds are scattered in the flow.
 
The jewel-like shards are surrounded by natural stone settings deliberately left rough to reveal their own stories of movement through time. Designed as hanging wall sculptures, you are able to hang a piece of a mountain on your wall.
 
“Concepts of time and tide, ebb and flow and the transient fragility of life, are a constant theme as I strive to create something of a lasting beauty. Although I know nothing lasts forever, and even stone can be worn away by wind and water. 
Perhaps then it is the actual act of creating that becomes the thing, the evidence of which tells a story …I was here”. Sian Faber
