Sculpture is the art of the hole and the lump. Auguste Rodin
The celebrations for our exhibition in the Pavilion at McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery went very well.
Placing 69 sculptures in the exhibition was a challenge but the layout looked great and was negotiable with an electric wheelchair. The pavilion opens to the ground with big windows - giving us natural light and access to the rest of the sculpture park.Monday 4th March

I am so thrilled that I won the Victoria Artist Society Sculpture prize for Kiralee in their summer show. I was so surprised but of course delighted. So unexpected.
“Sculpture is an art of the open air. Daylight, sunlight, is necessary to it, and for me, its best setting and complement is nature.”Henry Moore
If I wanted to summarise the ASV activities for 2023 I would probably run you a repeat of the president’s report at the Annual General Meeting. To save you the pain of going over that I’ll post a sound file against the slide show in the November newsletter.
So, looking forward - we lead 2024 with the exhibition in the pavilion at McClelland Gallery. I’ve just experienced the selection panel reducing 105 entries to 69 sculptures to be exhibited! This harrowing experience reminds me of the salon des refusées back in the day.

ASV will present “Form + Philosophy” - sculpture from living Victorian sculptors in all their diversity of philosophy, media and expression.

And… If anyone would have photos of themselves working on something, a portrait, or even (dare I hope) a short video of themselves working, or just their studio?
All these things are super popular in our posts:The ‘team’ is always looking for support and content- especially during shows. People on the ground who take photos, or people who just like writing a short piece. (As in a few lines)
We can plan and post- so it's not scary !
