Scattered across the landscape at Wildbrumby, Andreas Buisman’s stone sculptures rise like ancient totems — some obvious, others quietly embedded among the grasses, catching light when the sun hits just right.

Buisman, an Austrian artist and former Perisher ski instructor, has spent decades working with the local terrain. He doesn’t quarry stone — he finds it. Or, as he puts it, it finds him. Drawn to weathered, rounded rocks, he sees himself not as a maker, but as a translator of forms already present in the land.

Using diamond saws and angle grinders, Buisman reveals the inner life of these boulders — polishing parts to a silken gleam, while leaving the rest raw and rugged. Some works feature carved lines that trace the grain of the rock, while others simply invite touch through subtle contrast in texture.

The stones come from all over: dark basalt from Adelong, flecked granite from near Vienna, coastal granite from Moruya. Each piece holds its origin, but together they form a conversation — about nature, memory, and the quiet human habit of picking up a beautiful rock and deciding it means something.
