John Edgar has produced a suite of elegant and subtle forms for his latest
exhibition In Transit. From small stones that can be held and caressed in the
hand, to weighty sculptural works, all possess an exceptional finish and a fine
balance of materials.
The translucent glass inserts in Capsule reinforce the opacity of the crystalline
Takaka marble used in the work. The five lines seem illuminated from within as
light is diffused through the glass, and the glow softens the studied symmetry
of the piece. The same effect can be seen in the Cube works, where the
bifurcated crosses of glass add an element of contradiction; the eye
attempts to understand the internal structure of the sculpture where
quadrants of stone appear to ‘float’ and glass cores are at once clear and
dark.
Of a similar profile to Capsule, the more elongated form of Spindle features
three deep grooves carved into the reddish-brown Rajasthani sandstone.
Simplicity of form, the fine, dense grain and rich hue of the material combine
to create a work of understated beauty. The polished stone is tactile and
rewards handling with an impeccably smooth, unbroken surface.
Disc-shaped, the lenses are new forms for Edgar and after viewing the Transit
of Venus in June, he speaks of them as “expressions of transit.” For Edgar,
seeing “the transit of Venus as a small black dot slowly crossing the radiant
disc of the sun” (1) visually reinforced the concept of ‘place’ in the solar
system. Balanced on their central cores, the lenses illustrate a singular point in
time and place, as well as referencing three-dimensional planes of orbit.
Viewed from the side they appear to hover in space, defying their mass and
volume; placed in natural light, the orbit of the Earth is revealed in real time as
shadows wax and wane about each lens.

JOHN EDGAR b. 1950, lives Auckland
Acclaimed sculptor John Edgar has been exhibiting since 1979 including three New
Zealand public touring exhibitions “Calculus” 2002-2004, “Lie Of The Land” 1998-1999,
and “Making Amends” 1993-1995. In 2004, Edgar installed a major commission at the
Auckland Domain titled ‘Transformer’.
"Edgar has been slicing, altering and reassembling banded stones since the early
1980s; it is perhaps his signature mark as a stone sculptor. They range from pebble-
sized stones that can be held in the palm of your hand... to the towering red and grey
granite-banded 'Transformer' in the Auckland Domain that reaches to more than
three-and-a-half metres and with a giant banded boulder nearby, one of the hand
sized pebbles writ very large indeed." (1)
Edgar sculpts natural stone into abstract compositions with a strong reference to visual
texture, “ the oneness of duality” (2), the passing of time and the process of dissecting
and transforming natural formations into artefacts, so that they become part of the
human environment.
John Edgar is an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM) for services to art,
in particular sculpture.
