Andre Sardone joined the Digital
Solutions program in January 2020 with his small business in creative
sculpture. Inspired by the Greater Bendigo National Park that surrounds his
property in Mandurang,
Andre uses waste and recycled steel to create unusual, long-lasting sculptures.
“The things I learnt at the Digital Solutions certainly helped me.”
Andre first exhibited his work in Melbourne in 2004. His sculptural style has gone through many evolutions since to reach his current diverse practice that includes kinetics and applied mechanics.
“My artwork has found a place both in gardens and fine art galleries, and the sales are now becoming more consistent—despite the lack of opportunities to exhibit my work in 2020,” Andre says. “COVID-19 has resulted in a shift to online opportunities.”
Andre was somewhat active on social media prior to the pandemic, but knew he needed some guidance on how to make the most of the power of these platforms.
