Two Artists
Paul Haslam and Richard Lamond combine their artistic skills and experiences to create something new. Their art work is serious, thoughtful and deliberate, yet the humour that these two artists bring to their work remains evident in each piece. They know and trust each other, understanding that they combine to make art, and are both equally subservient to it. Sure they both have our own agendas and skills. These differences are part of what makes them a team and are used as motivations through all stages; conceptualisation, design, and rendering.

Little Fish Escapes
Red Gum and Steel by Paul and Richard
An aspect of ‘Pond Life’.
The big fish out number the little fish, but it can survive by taking shelter amongst the reeds.
Schoal Fish Escape
Red Gum and Steel by Paul and Richard
An aspect of ‘Pond Life’.
The little fish out number the big fish, and they survive by hiding amongst each other.
One Escaped
Red Gum and Steel by Paul and Richard
An aspect of ‘Pond Life’.
This little fish doesn’t take shelter in the reeds.
Out numbered, it gets away for an instant...
Re-growth
Red Gum and Steel by Paul and Richard
After a fire; the trees re-grow. Mysteriously, new growth emerges from the middle of the old timber.
Linked to ‘Spontaneous Chicken’ and ‘Whole Tree’.
Bonsai Display Stand
Red Gum and Steel by Paul and Richard
The clipped top pieces of wood and the disproportionate root frame the bonsai concept.
The steel mimics the spiral structure of timber.
Kitchen Chopping Bench
Red Gum and Steel by Paul and Richard
Table
Red Gum and Steel by Paul and Richard
The contrast between form and surface. The root has complex form and simple surface texture. The top has complex texture and simple form.
Small Vine
Red Gum and Steel by Paul and Richard
The bottles represent the grapes,
the timber leaves state age and tradition,
the steel is strength and grace.
Two Tier Table
Red Gum and Steel by Paul and Richard
The two tier top was motivated by the
complex root structure of the base.
Tight Plant Stand
Red Gum and Steel by Paul and Richard
Though cut-up the whole remains. Like a jig saw, the audience sees each piece and reassembles the original slab. We hope they think of the tree.
Tree
Hat and Coat Rack
Red Gum and Steel by Paul and Richard
An early experiment in subverting function. We wanted to make a tree that could be used for coats.
Surf Lizard
Coffee Table
Red Gum, Steel and Granite by Paul and Richard
To subvert function we created an event.
The table has a purpose in its life.
Surf Lizard
‘Randle’ Coffee Table
Red Gum, Steel and Granite by Paul and Richard
Polished edges as Glenn is a smooth surfer.
The Felled
Huon Pine, Gum and Steel by Paul and Richard
Like fallen trees, they lie with their roots exposed. They grow no more but jut out like gravestones
to their own demise
florist
Counter of wood and steel by Paul and Richard
The function and the form unite. The tree’s function is to hold bunches of flowers, as trees do. The form ensures it makes sense when there are no flowers
Light Setting
Red Gum and Steel by Paul and Richard
We used the minimal amount of wood. Though small the chairs are comfortable, and the slight flex in the steel gives a softness.
