Hey again! I'm back with another feature from the city of Melbourne, this time the home, garden and studio of sculptor Karl Duldig and artist Slawa Duldig situated in Malvern East, a suburb of Melbourne. This location is peaceful and quiet, the only hint to this location given by the sculpture that is scattered across the front of this property.

Here resides the former home and studio of sculptor Karl Duldig and his wife, artist and inventor, Slawa Duldig née Horowitz. Karl was born in Poland and later moved to Vienna when he was a child. While studying under noted Austrian sculptor Anton Hanak he met his future wife, Slawa Horowitz, who were both talented in many aspects of art and lived a life of creativity, immersing themselves in the creative process on a daily basis. Karl himself tended to focus heavily on sculpture, Slawa dabbled in design and painting but also went on to invent a new type of folding umbrella. Many of the furniture and objects inside this home were designed by her, which are modular in form and have a Bauhaus inspired look that's still relevant today. 

At the back of the property you can walk around Karl's original studio, a place in which he experimented with sculpture and pottery using mainly terracotta clay. These sculptures can be seen in the garden, as well as some metal ones that have been casted from these original clay versions. The whole setup is not only inspiring because of their output as artists, it's also wonderful to see how they integrated themselves in to a creative environment and lived and breathed this mentality their whole lives. Here are a few photos from my trip that I hope you enjoy. A must visit if you're ever in Melbourne and is surely an inspiring place for any creative.
