Tree of Life

My sculpture entry at the Wanneroo Art Awards 2012

I submitted this work at the City of Wanneroo Art Awards 2012, currently exhibiting till 3 June at the Wanneroo Library and Cultural centre. This was actually not the piece I had intended to submit, and it was a good thing I did not give a title then. The work I was preparing at the time could not be completed on time, so this piece was its substitute.  Things certainly did not go smoothly at first.

On the day before the opening, the curator contacted me to inform me that they had damaged the human figure and she brought it back to me with an arm and a leg detached! I had to make last minute repairs and thankfully the damage is not obvious now. I did not go to see the exhibition till today, and I am pleased to see my work displayed beautifully in an alcove by a window. I did not have the opportunity to inform the organisers of the title, which would have been " The Tree of Life".
