Sculpture in public space — steel, stone, and landscape, Western Australia.

Sidera

Dimensions: 3.4m x 3m x 3m

Materials: Aluminium

Date: 2026

Quartz measures seconds through its vibration. Astronomy measures distance in light years. At both scales, time is not just a measurement but is understood physically and spatially. Time locates us in the moment, and in the universe.

I’m interested in how patterns arise in nature and how these forms relate to our understanding of ourselves and the universe. Sidera is a reflection on deep time, geology, order and chaos. If physics is universal, the same atomic order that makes quartz a measure of time on Earth would exist wherever quartz forms. The structures we use to measure time are part of a wider order, and part of how we understand our place within it.​

Artificial Nature 

Dimensions: 3m x 3m x 2m

Materials: Coreten, Stainless Steel

Date: 2025

Artificial Nature, is a sculpture that explores the role of Artificial intelligence in the production of creative works. Postmodern theorists have long questioned if there is such a thing as originality in art. The advent of AI makes this debate even more relevant. Will AI lead to a reduction in perceived 'authenticity' of an artwork and what is our role as artists and creativity in this new landscape?

Ferrus

Dimensions: 3m x 2m x 2m

Materials: Steel, Bluestone

Date: 2022 

Banksia Bull is built from hundreds of individually cut steel leaves, each drawn from the serrated Banksia Grandis, a plant that has long outlasted fire and drought in south-western Australia. The leaves overlap and curl, catching the sun while light slips through the gaps between them. The animal seems less made than grown from the landscape. Polished stainless horns flash against the weathered surface. A single butterfly rests on its flank, a small stillness against the powerful Bull

Resonance

Resonance

Dimensions: 3m x 1.5m x 1.5m

Materials: Aluminium & Donnybrook sandstone Date: 2026

Inspired by the cubic crystal structure of pyrite, Resonance reflects the invisible lattice that guides mineral growth. Repeating geometric frameworks give rise to the crystal’s outward form. The stacked aluminium cubes echo this hidden order, while their slight shifts suggest the pressures and imperfections of natural formation.​​​​​​

Black Point

Dimensions: 3m x 3m x 2m

Materials: Coreten, Native plants

Date: 2025

The inspiration for this sculpture is an outcrop of hexagonal basalt columns formed 135 million years ago in the D’Entrecasteaux national park known as Black Point. In designing this sculpture I wanted to replicate the cathedral like grandeur of the black point cliffs and pay respect to the greatest sculptor of all, mother nature.

Birds

Jake Coghlan & Ian Mutch

Dimensions: 6m x 6m x 0.04m

Materials: Aluminium & LED Lighting

Date: 2026 

Located at the entrance to Cowaramup, Jake collaborated with Ian Mutch to design, fabricate and install, a large sculptural facade . Birds combined Jake`s Sculptural design aesthetic with Ian`s distinct graphic design to create a work inspired by the native wildlife. The work has been designed to integrate with the architecture creating a sense of rhythm and flow.

Drift

Dimensions: 3.5mx 2m x5m 

Materials: Stainless Steel

Date: 2019

'Drift' takes the shape of a giant gum leaf curling into a wave. The curves are made up of Fibonacci spirals a pattern often seen in nature. Various gauge stainless steel pipe catches the light, casting dynamic shadows that evolve throughout the day. Its elegant form encourages the viewer to physically engage with and move around the artwork.

Seahorse

Dimensions: 3m x 2m x 1.5m

Materials: Steel, Bluestone

Date: 2022 

Commissioned by the Busselton Jetty Inc. as sculpture that functions as an artificial reef, 'Seahorse' is a 3m high Tiger Snout seahorse. The sculpture features a gabion structure filled with Bluestone that provides an underwater habitat . Over time the sculpture continues to evolve as natural elements grow in and around it.
