Sculpture Graveyard - Raising the dead
|
Sculpture Graveyard - Raising the dead is an ongoing project in which I am recycling old sculptures into new. The nature of my ephemeral work has left me with many skeletons in the paddock which over time are forming new skins and structural deviations to reincarnate into new sculptural forms. This process began in 2011 when 'The Grass is Green', affectionately know as Lorna incarnated as the work 'Now and Then' that went on to win the peoples choice award at Lorne Sculpture. |
From there on we saw, 'Mother's Milk' evolve into 'How Now', 'Part of the Landscape' become 'Poo Roo' and 'Rock of All Age's went their own ways diverting into 'Hybrid' and 'Country Living', but what's in stall for the baby rock?
As an on-going project, Raising the Dead re-invigorates ephemeral sculptures and installations to expand on the idea of recycling materials and furthers concepts of change and impermanence that is an integral part of the work.
So what do you do with all those life drawings under the bed? and what's in store for the artificial grass from the Chewton school oval?
