Visiting Earth Angel lands at Mount TamborineIn 2008, Antone created "Visiting Earth Angel" at the Beaudesert International Sculpture Symposium. Sculptors from around the world attended and most of their sculptures have now been placed at locations throughout the Scenic Rim area. The Sculpture, located at the Hang Gliding Lookout at the top of the Mountain along Main Western Road provides a stimulating art experience and a very attractive photo opportunity for visitors with the valley of the Scenic Rim as a stunning backdrop.

Penetration of the Wind moved to Shanghai Sculpture ParkAntone completed a granite sculpture in 1998 at the Yu-Zi Paradise Sculpture Park as part of a symposium. It has now been moved to the internationally recognised Sculpture Park at Shanghai. This Sculpture Park was established in 2005 and it is the intention of the arts committee to showcase international sculpture in a contemporary setting for local residents and overseas visitors. Shanghai will host the World Expo 2010 and the Sculpture Park will be a popular attraction for visitors. Below you can see the sculpture in its previous setting and now in its current setting.

2006 Southern Downs Sculpture Symposium - Flowers for Andrea Robyn and her Friends Antone created a commemorative sculpture for the Emu Vale community at Warwick at the end of July this year. Andrea Robyn was a baby being flown to Brisbane for medical treatment, when the plane crashed. His sculpture is an abstract piece representing the wildflowers that grow near the scene of the plane crash, which happened on 9 April 1955. It attracted a lot of interest as he carved it over two weeks at Leslie Park in the centre of Warwick and he met many wonderful people there. Antone returned to Emu Vale on 24 August to oversee the installation of his sculpture at a park. One of those people kindly wrote a few words about his impressions of Antone's work: "Antone's excellent piece causes me to reflect on the lives of the last inhabitants of Emu Vale and their special relationship with the Emu Creek and its beautiful valley and rolling flood plain. These people were of the Keinjan Tribe and lived, hunted and camped in the valley and alongside the clear waters of the creek. Thank you, John! Some images to show you how Antone worked for two weeks to create the sculpture for the community.

Antone was invited to Taiwan at the end of last year to participate in a sculpture symposium organised by the Fine Arts Department of Taipei National University of the Arts. Sculpture symposiums are not talkfests - invited artists spend between one and four weeks, on average, creating a sculpture, which is then left in place to enrich the cultural heritage of the host country. It is a great opportunity to exchange practical ideas with other sculptors, make friends with international artists and represent your country. Antone created "Spirit Boats".

These two sculptures explore humanity’s relationship with nature, through depicting the bridging journeys we make between life and death.
