I've just been back over to Bermagui - to
Sculpture on the Edge - and installed my quirky small ephemeral piece on the headland and had a quick looksee around the place....
noice eh?
(names and details to follow - as soon as I can get my hands on a catalogue!)
its a hive of activity on the headland -
as Yuri and Chris prepare their works for this evening
(it's opening night celebrations don't you know... and these boys are preparing for 'fire' works...)
Yuri is making a large clay work piece that will be fired in-situ (which will no doubt be fascinating to witness) - I've just left him mad at work, building the base (wire, rocks, covered in clay/charcoal mix) Behind him are a few of the volunteers that are helping to assemble the work (more should be arriving right now as I'm typing...) These folk are building sausage-like structures from hessian...
.... which are filled with charcoal lumps.
hmmmm curiouser and curiouser......
Yuri is actually aiming to build something resembling a GIANT koala scat created from local clay....
Yuri is a passionate koala-survey creature - and knows MOUNTAINS about our local koala populations... interestingly we've just been comparing notes over the past week - his focus is the Mumbulla koalas - and of course I'm interested in the creatures next to me in the Kooraban...
I was tickled all sorts of colours this morning when he whipped out a container of koala scats he's collected in the Mumbulla forests..... you really need to smell this as I'm sure you won't believe me when I tell you it's lovely! (it's just like sweetened eucalyptus)
further down the hill - Chris is creating something else....
its only in the early stages of construction right now
but just wait until dark ......
Chris shares my passion for fiery things.... and even shared with me his 'super-secret-special recipe' for getting things seriously fired up....
(nope, I'm not telling what's in the mix - but let's just say - mythbusters would approve! hee hee hee)
oh and of course as well as headland things - there's the small sculpture show in the hall to peruse....
mmmm boats.....
mmmmm feathers!
mmmmmm
now I must get my presentation for sunday under control
thinking all things ephemeral...
sneaky shot of part of my piece up on the headland.....
I've already had my first visitor/admirer...
I think that's a good sign
.....
