Amphitrite Shoe - Ollie Hardt
A merge between stiletto and cephalopod.
A bizarre concept but still appealing to the eye.
The purple is to represent the flower colour of the Jacaranda tree from which this piece was carved from. A gift from Poseidon to his wife Amphitrite.
Bio: Born in Germany, Ollie Hardt migrated to Australia in 1983. Coming from a creative family, Ollie has learnt from wood working passion passed along many generations. Now calling Brisbane home and having raised a family, Ollie hones his skills in carving, painting and fishing, making his first timber fishing lure in 1989.
He now works in a variety of media including, painting, hebel, carving and timber sculptures. From the very beginning, Ollie has had a great passion for working with timber, due to the character, tactile and warm endless varieties of colour, grain and texture it brings depending on the species.
