The
Artist at Work
The
artist lives and works in Sydney’s inner western
suburbs. His outdoor workshop in Enmore is home to
many works-in-progress and giant chunks of marble,
sandstone and other raw materials.
‘Over
the past 40 years I have had an obsession with the
search for perfection. My studio is my sanctuary where
I turn inanimate objects into objects full of life.
Here I stare at the night sky like Galileo did before
me and dream.’ – VINCE VOZZO
