Editor's Inspiration and President's Letter

"Where did I learn to understand sculpture? In the woods by looking at the trees, along roads by observing the formation of clouds, in the studio by studying the model, everywhere except in the schools.” Auguste Rodin

The spring equinox has passed - the acceleration of day length has peaked and buds are swelling and bursting open in their due time.

Sculptors have put work in quite a few different exhibitions - it’s a bit harder keeping track when they are not run by Sculptors Victoria but still the general impression is of surging activity and creativity: the winds of change are blowing.

‘Exploring, repurposing, recycling and creating.

‘Textile art has taken exciting steps forward over the last few years.

Traditional conservative boundaries have been opened to allow blends of old and new recycled and repurposed construction mediums to come together in new art concepts.

I am excited at the possibilities at my fingertips - Be my guest, Take a look! ’

Art on the Hill

Firstly, thank you for supporting Art on The Hill. The quality of the work was of a very high standard and the diversity of media and styles brought a beautiful dynamic to the exhibition.

It was interesting doing the bump-in in the dark. It was the first time for me, and I really appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation. It was great to walk in on Wednesday morning and see everything lit up.

There were 62 works from 24 artists, including 44 sculptures and 18, 2-D works.
