PRIVATE ESTATE — Internationally recognized sculptor Ken Kelleher, also known as Anchorball, has completed Becoming, a six-metre mist-finish stainless steel sculpture created for a private collection.
Part of Kelleher’s Elemental practice, the work is built on the idea of transformation — one thing becoming something new, the way a seed bursts through into growth — expressed through a soft, luminous surface at monumental scale.
“
Becoming is about the moment of change — that instant when something turns into something else. I wanted a form that feels like it’s still in motion, still growing, even standing still.— Ken Kelleher (aka Anchorball)
For collectors and institutions, the work exemplifies the conceptual depth and material ambition of Kelleher’s Elemental series.
Becoming continues Kelleher’s exploration of natural forces and states of transformation rendered in permanent, monumental form.
