Rocks in my head..

I must have rocks in my head.. I am thinking of entering The City of Hobart Art Prize 2009. This year it is sculpture and drawings. I have a sculpture in my head that is gnawing at me to get out.

I have a small sculpture that I am particuarly fond of and l am thinking of using her as the inspiration for a larger sculpture.. Here she is.

I call her “Silence”. When I made her, I had been thinking about how many women, in so many societies around the world don’t have a voice.

I am thinking deep thoughts about the destruction of Tasmania’s ancient forests and the shame and despair that I feel as a consequence. So I think my next sculpture will be my physical response to those thoughts…

    You have the most amazing mind. And then to be able to translate that to form? What a gift!

    I can’t wait to see the sculpture that speaks what your soul is thinking and feeling.

    I’m not sure how you can translate that despair into a creative work, but I hope you will try. That is true love of country, you know.

    Go for it! You have such an amazingly creative and intelligent mind and spirit and I know that such a sculpture would make people stop and think. I hope you do and share with us when you’re done.

    I really like this one you’ve posted as well. 🙂
