Falling From Grace
The Chandelier, originally designed as a practical candle holder has, over the centuries, become a symbol of opulence. It's usefulness as a light source is debatable. It's threatening dangling overhead, a much-used symbol in popular culture. It has come full circle. Back to the dark ages from which it came. The energy hungry incandescent light bulb has made way for the aesthetically challenged energy saver halogen bulb. This Chandelier holds no globes and no longer serves a useful purpose. Like the plastic it is made from, it has reached obsolescence.

well thank god that's over
Don't get me wrong, Sculpture by the Sea was great, but it was completely exhausting. Really happy to have sold my work, and especially that the new owners live fifty meters from Marks park. Also very pleased to have received the Kids Choice award. Thanks Kids! I love the Dinosaur Designs trophy. I didn't expect that. Almost better than the cash!
So now I have a large bag of plastic that broke off the house that I need to reattach. I'll do that tomorrow. Then I have to try and find somewhere to put all the leftover plastic/toys etc, and resurrect my garage. I have no idea where to put it. It all seems far too big a job on this 40 degree afternoon.
Here are a couple of pictures of the Dream Home in situ. Thanks to everyone who supported me in making it and everyone who came to see it. It makes it all worthwhile.

Being installed in new home. Note how far it has to go down into the courtyard...that's Gregs face underneath the bottom of the house.

Early one morning last summer, I went and had a look at a skatepark that I knew about, but hadn't seen before. I wasn't planning on staying because I was on my way to a swimming race, but even if I'd wanted to, I would have had to wait for the group of about twenty elderly Tai Chi practitioners to finish their session first. They took up the whole bowl with their slow, fluid, synchronised movement. I though about how similar it was to the movement made by the skateboarders who would no doubt trickle in as the day warmed up. Movements that are repeated and practiced, refined and perfected. Tai Chi, slow, skating, fast.
As I turned to leave, I saw a young man, sitting quietly like this on his skateboard, as if meditating on the moves he would make when the others left.

new thing
Rainbow street public school is having an art exhibition fundraiser from the 27th of August to the 1st of September at Gallery East, 21 Burnie st Clovelly. Chris Gleisner is curating it and asked me to donate something to the cause. I made some things like this.
