Harley Springer is a self-taught sculptor who repurposes industrial and domestic materials - truck parts, jetty timbers, limestone and iron - into evocative garden sculptures.

His innovative creations generate soothing sounds as wind passes through the, creating atmospheres of calm and tranquility. Beyond his scuptural practice Harley has founded a sound healing circle dedicated to men's mental health and wellbeing, transforming Jacaranda Gallery into a sanctuary where visitors discover peace and reinvigoration through art and sound.

He is a poet, a lover of collecting, recycling and giving old things new life. As can be seen by his latest bit of fun, entitled Iron Man.
