Anne Neil是一位澳大利亚艺术家，她通过异想天开的公共雕塑将工艺与敏锐的叙事感融为一体。她的珠宝背景继续塑造着她的雕塑作品，以对金属的迷恋以及工业制造和复杂手工细节之间的平衡为标志。

Anne Neil is an Australian artist who blends craftsmanship with a keen sense of storytelling through her whimsical public sculptures. Her background in jewellery continues to shape her sculptural work, marked by a fascination with metals and a balance between industrial fabrication and intricate, handcrafted details.

她的最新作品《朋友银行》为位于西澳大利亚州珀斯以南的默多克广场医疗区带来了俏皮的活力。这些超现实的天鹅雕塑——西澳大利亚州的象征——装饰着日常配饰，每个都讲述着自己轻松愉快的故事。一只天鹅端着外卖咖啡，而另一只天鹅则自信地在滑板上保持平衡，为医疗区注入惊喜和欢乐的时刻。这些人性化的互动雕塑旨在唤起人们的微笑和笑声，为游客和当地社区营造一个温馨的环境。

Her latest work, A Bank of Friends, brings a playful vibrancy to the Murdoch Square Medical Precinct, located south of Perth, Western Australia. These larger-than-life sculptures of Swans—Western Australia's emblem—are adorned with everyday accessories, each telling its own light-hearted story. One swan carries takeaway coffees, while another confidently balances on a skateboard, injecting moments of surprise and joy into the medical precinct. These human-scale, interactive sculptures aim to evoke smiles and laughter, fostering a welcoming environment for visitors and the local community.

这件艺术品与“人性之心”的策展主题相一致，强调艺术创造记忆、连接人们和振奋精神的力量。尼尔对幽默的使用反映了对其治疗效果的研究：幽默会自然释放内啡肽，减轻压力，提高幸福感。

The artwork aligns with the curatorial theme of "the heart of humanity," emphasizing art's power to create memories, connect people, and uplift spirits. Neil's use of humour reflects research into its therapeutic effects: humour naturally releases endorphins, reducing stress and enhancing well-being.

Neil独立完成了这个项目，并与UAP合作，将她的数字3D模型转化为引人注目的有形雕塑。我们的布里斯班车间充满了创造力，因为团队在生产的每个阶段都在工作，从详细的铸造和制造图纸到材料取样、图案制作、失蜡铸造和精加工。每只天鹅高约1.7米，精湛的工艺确保每一个细节都符合尼尔的愿景。

Neil independently secured the project and collaborated with UAP to translate her digital 3D models into striking tangible sculptures. Our Brisbane workshop buzzed with creativity as the team worked through every stage of production, from detailed foundry and fabrication drawings to material sampling, pattern making, lost wax casting, and finishing. Each swan stands approximately 1.7m tall, and precise craftsmanship ensured that every detail matched Neil's vision.
