Bruce Reynolds has been announced as the winner of the 2022 Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize, ahead of the opening of the 21st anniversary exhibition at the new Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf. The Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize is Australia’s pre-eminent prize for small sculpture and the first national acquisitive prize for an original sculpture of up to 80cm, presented by Woollahra Council.

Bruce Reynolds has been awarded the $25,000 award, for his work, “Animal Kraters”, which will be acquired for the Council’s permanent public collection, joining previous winners Tim Silver, Robert Owen, Yvonne Kendall, Rhonda Sharpe and Mikala Dwyer.

Exploring an eclectic mix of themes including loss of identity, decolonisation, the reimagining of ancient stories and artefacts and gender identity, the 2022 finalists’ works will be on display at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf in an exhibition running from 13 October to 20 November 2022.
