Congratulations to Heather King on winning the major Award in her graduate exhibition: "Thankyou to those of you who came to the opening last night. It was such a thrill to win the major award. I am still a little stunned! What a great bunch of people I have worked with over this last 4 years.
Anyway to those who have not been it is worth a visit to Walker Street Gallery. The exhibition finishes next Friday 29th Nov."

Fruit Art
People have sent interesting "sculpture" images - they beg the questions of boundaries and definitions. The fruit art was by an artist in Toulon - so far as we can tell - because an Internet search failed to reveal further details.

Squid Tree
We’re very fond of yarn bombing — knitting colourful coverings for trees, Wall Street bulls, or other bits of the urban landscape — as a way of beautifying the city.http://grist.org/list/this-squid-tree-might-just-be-the-best-yarn-bombing-weve-ever-seen/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=tweet&utm_campaign=socialflow
But this squid tree cozy by Jill and Lorna Watt outdoes all the ones we’ve seen so far.

The Chainsaw
 |
| One of the piles from which the wood was rescued |
I’m carving pear trees that were planted in 1916 and pulled out as the result of contract closures with SPC Ardmona cannery. The timber is a size that demands a chainsaw!
So it was back to school again to get a chainsaw license to enable safe operation of a murderous beast. I found it on the net http://www.allskillsservices.com.au/other-courses/chainsaw-course-melbourne.html It was the sort of course you’d be happy to send your grown-up kids to - to learn respect and skill with a seriously powerful tool.
And here's some back story for this project: http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/bushtelegraph/tree-pull-sculptor/5095778
