Andrew Rogers was born and lives in Melbourne, Australia. Rogers, one of Australia’s most distinguished and internationally recognized contemporary sculptors, strives to represent the connection between man, nature and landscape. Formerly a painter, Rogers made his first sculpture in 1988 when in his early forties. Rogers’ first works were figurative, and in 1995, he moved towards abstraction as a means of communication.

Rogers is known for his monumental global Geoglyphs project which he commenced in Israel’s Arava desert. These accessible and life-affirming massive stone sculptures in the Rythms of Life series have since been constructed all over the world.

Rogers was artist-in-residence at the Technion in 1998 when he created Transform, which stands at a height of 3.8 m. This bronze sculpture, cast at a local foundry, is a literal representation of the boundless creativity that drives technological and scientific progress. Spiraling upward, swirling organic roots give rise to forms that speak to the precision of the technological innovation that propelled us into the 21st Century. This structure marks the first time an artist-in-residence has invited and welcomed the participation of students in the creation of a campus sculpture.
