Dr Simon Perry

Dr Simon Perry’s Daily Bread is an ongoing project conceived during Covid-19.

The project began as a way of demonstrating creative thinking to BA (Fine Art) — Sculpture students in lockdown. A simple set of rules governed the production of each work. The Sculptures were made from one slice of white bread and completed within a thirty minute time frame. Each work was then documented and uploaded online.

Simon Perry is a British sculptor and academic, based in Melbourne Australia. Best known for his large-scale public art works for urban spaces in Australia and overseas, Perry's practice incorporates numerous sculptural techniques including casting, carving and fabrication. His works have been created in bronze, concrete, granite, steel, aluminium, wood and stone. Simon's commissioned pieces are predominantly site-specific, and often address elements of environment and public space with a gentle humour.
