Bruce Armstrong - our speaker at the AGM
Melbourne sculptor Bruce Armstrong completed his training at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 1981 and began his sculptural career using tree branches and lengths of timber, before moving to large blocks of unprocessed wood as his principal medium. His best-known carvings, the massive redgum Untitled (Guardians),1987, stood watch at the main St Kilda Road entrance to the National Gallery of Victoria until its temporary closure in 1999. In 2002 Armstrong installed Bunjil, the 25-metre eagle-hawk that towers over the Melbourne Docklands.So it’s come to this and She would like to be left with it were installed in their current location in Deakin Court in 1986 and marked the entrance of the then University of Melbourne Museum of Art, the precursor to the Ian Potter Museum of Art.
