The September Meeting
 |
| Jenny Whiteside demonstrating her tools |
Jenny Whiteside commenced her talk with a bit of background about her first piece, carved from Australian Serpentine that she has retained as a yardstick of her achievements and for sentimental reasons. Having made this first work she had a complete change of direction and has never looked back and is very passionate about what she does.
The October meeting and onwards....
Mary McMahon has stepped up again for October offering to show a short video and briefly discuss the work of Nek Chand and his sculpture garden in India. Internet connections willing we will also check in on Bruno’s Garden in Marysville. Showing movie clips from the Internet is a good way to start discussion in a meeting - if anyone else has suggestions they can be added in. The idea of getting more information and possibly a visit from a 3D scanning, modelling and printing company excited a lot of interest when it was discussed in the September meeting - so we are pursuing the idea... keep in touch on that one. Our plans include a Christmas party.
Kinross Art Centre Exhibition

| "Isis" by Rachel Boymal |
Kinross Arts Centre Exhibition was opened from 31 August to the 15th September.
Tesselaar Sculpture Prize
 |
| Andrew Bryant "Hybrid" |
The outstanding visual delight of looking at the many rows of very colourful tulips rippling across the fields is a challenging context in which to place contemporary sculpture.

Michael Meszaros sculpture installed at Melbourne University plus an opportunity
 |
| Michael's work at the University of Melbourne |
Michael Meszaros has sent us a photo of his University of Melbourne Medical School work.
It symbolises the developing knowledge of the human body and our ability to look into it. It is 2.3 metres high, bronze, unveiled 12th August.
The News from Ballarat
It is disappointing to note that the call for artists at Miners Rest involves the submission of designs prior to appointment or payment of artists. An odd omission from a sculptor.
