Ivor Fabok is a graduate of Fine Art from the City Art Institute, Sydney. He began exhibiting sculpture in 1982 and his work has been commissioned for the Wollongong Regional Gallery, the American Express building, Sydney and the Hyatt Coolum, Queensland.

I like the freewheeling improvisation in jazz. When I listen to music I see colours. I read music as forms and structures. Colour can be form. A solid piece of blue, for example, can be a real form. It's in real space, its real blue and has enough to draw you in.

In addition to an active studio practice, Fabok lectures in sculpture at Wollongong TAFE and the National Art School, Sydney.
