DARREL BALDOCK
LATROBE OVAL, LATROBE, TAS
Gillie and Marc were asked to create a bronze statue in Darrel’s likeness,
so that his legacy could be immortalised at Latrobe. Darrel “Doc” Baldock started out an ordinary bloke from Quoiba in Tasmania, but during his lifetime he left a lasting legacy both statewide and nationally.
The Doc captained the St Kilda Football Club to its only premiership in 1966, was a champion horse breeder and trainer and a state politician until 1987, when he retired to coach his beloved Saints.

TESTIMONALS
We were delighted with the inspired sculpture that Gillie and Marc produced for our College. It now stands in a key location within our grounds and is deeply valued by the students, staff and parents who can interact so easily with it. It gives expression to the defining spirit of our community, capturing the past, present and future. In doing so, it has sparked a dialogue amongst people about ‘who we are’ and ‘what we believe in’. None of this would have been possible without Marc and Gillie’s capacity to engage with us in such
a meaningful and respectful conversation about our College. We are most grateful to them for this exquisite and evocative art piece.

Dear Gillie and Marc,
Personally and on behalf of the Darrel Baldock Memorial Committee, I
would like to thank you and your company for your contribution to the Darrel Baldock Memorial which was officially opened for public access at the Latrobe Recreation Ground in Gilbert Street, Latrobe on Monday , April 28th 2014. Many people, companies and organisations have made pivotal contributions to the project over the past three years but none more so that that of you, Gillie and Marc. Your preparedness to create and provide the statue at basically cost price was a financial shot in the arm at a time when our committee had some real doubts in relation to our fundraising capability. Your willingness to
work with our committee and develop the statue centre piece was integral to our ultimate success in bringing the memorial project to fruition and we will be forever grateful for your support and contribution.
We believe that the memorial, with centrepiece statue of The Doc “in full flight”, is a fitting tribute to the great tasmanian and we have much pleasure in providing a framed picture of the completed project as a token of our sincere appreciation of your contribution. The memorial project has received wide spread acclaim and many people have commented on the physical likeness of the statue to the Darrel Baldock they remember. Your work has undoubtedly enhanced the memorial to ‘Doc’ and we hope you are as proud of the finished project as we are.
Cr. Peter Freshney
Chairman | Darrel Baldock Memorial Committee | Latrobe
As a member of The Grenfell Henry Lawson Festival of Arts I was appointed the task of providing artistic direction to Gillie and Marc Schattner. Our
statue of Henry Lawson is welcoming and successfully achieves the kind of public response we had hoped for. The whole instalment is complementary
to our heritage streetscape and adds to the appeal of the town of Grenfell.
My particular passion for the Henry Lawson project meant that I conveyed changes where appropriate to the statue to the slightest degree; I can assume


that this process would be tedious to other artists however Gillie and Marc were appreciative of the feedback, which ultimately resulted in the end product being something we are mutually proud of.

Council engaged Gillie and Marc to provide a 6ft bronze sculpture of William Nelson and his dog, to be installed in the newly created William Nelson Park in Hastings. Council is thrilled with the sculpture, which has been much admired by all those who see and interact with him in the Park. He absolutely brings a sense of stature and importance to this park, with the added benefit of telling our community the story of our past.
Gillie and Marc were an absolute pleasure to work with, with regular correspondence and updates provided throughout the timely process. They listened to the brief, and created a sculpture that is extremely realistic and true to life as requested. I would have no hesitation in providing this reference, and recommending the work of Gillie and Marc. They are two very professional, dedicated and passionate artists, who take immense pride in their work.

I was taken by Gillie and Marc’s Run for your life installation immediately when I happened upon it in the summer of 2014 at Federation Square in Melbourne.
The bronze rhinos were instantly commanding of attention due to their size
and creative Sound Box – hearing a heard of rhinos run in the centre of the city was a transportive experience.
It was delightful to constantly see children and adults alike climbing all over the sculptures, having their picture taken with them – the works were accessible and appealing to people of all ages and backgrounds.
Melbourne has truly embraced Run for your life which is evident in both the public’s physical and digital interaction with the sculptures. Wonderment Walk was very pleased to acquire the installation and was proud to temporarily display it at the SummerSalt Outdoor Arts Festival in Melbourne over the summer months this year. We are looking forward to permanently placing the installation in Melbourne later this year.
We have really enjoyed working closely with Gillie and Marc on promoting the rhinos and the science related narrative of sustainability and biodiversity to new audiences in Victoria.
