Bronze, patinated
Acquired 2003
This tall bronze sculpture rises from the ground in a network of looping, branching and intersecting forms. Its patinated surface catches the light through different seasons, creating shifting reflections as visitors move around it. Positioned at the entrance to the Sculpture Trail, the work offers a dynamic first impression as it arcs upward from the surrounding coastal plantings.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Andrew Rogers
Andrew Rogers is an internationally recognised Australian sculptor whose practice spans large scale public sculpture, bronze works and the well known Rhythms of Life land art project. His sculptures often explore movement, interconnectedness and the relationship between form and landscape.
Rogers works primarily in bronze, stone and earth, creating forms that emphasise rhythm, flow and the traces of natural or human systems. His practice moves between intimate studio works and monumental environmental installations, maintaining a constant focus on the physicality of materials and the symbolism of growth, pattern and change. Rogers is widely exhibited, collected and engaged in major projects around the world, including large scale geoglyphs and public commissions.

ROGERS AT MONTALTO
Propagating was installed at Montalto in 2003 and stands at the beginning of the Sculpture Trail. Its interlocking bronze elements echo the branching forms of plant life and the surrounding coastal vegetation, aligning with Rogers’ ongoing interest in growth and interconnected structures.
At Montalto the sculpture anchors the entry to the trail, its vertical momentum drawing the eye upward while its patina slowly evolves with exposure to the estate environment.
