BRONWEN SHANNON
“We are inspired by the ways natural elements shape both life and imagination. Water, as a vital force of transformation, mirrors the emotional and transitional qualities we seek to capture in our work.”
​
Calling their collaboration Artist Slingshot complementary artists, Sandra Temple and Bronwen Shannon combine distinct yet harmonising practices, enabling a dynamic exchange of ideas, skills, and perspectives. Through Artist Slingshot, Sandra and Bronwen engage in a shared creative process that fosters innovation, professional growth, and the exploration of new artistic directions.

Ripples of Being is a modular sculpture that bridges the natural world and the human psyche. Crafted from resilient Pal Tiya, reclaimed river stone, and hand-forged steel, the work centres on a reflective mirror that invites self-recognition within the landscape. Stylised flora and fauna create an interconnected microcosm, while undulating forms mimic the ancient flow of water across the Australian terrain.
