15 Sculptures You (probably) Didn’t Know Existed
A fork in a lake. A shark in a roof. A portrait hidden inside fifty steel columns. These sixteen sculptures use cliffs, shadows, water, buildings, light, and even the viewer’s position as part of the work. Some are permanent landmarks; others travel or were created as temporary installations. 🎶 “Mélodie oubliée” — By Luo Li Rong In this workshop photo, Luo Li Rong uses a torch on the bronze surface of Mélodie oubliée. The finished work is 205 cm tall and weighs 250 kg, […] -
When Trees Become Art (8 Photos)
The tree completes the idea. Living trunks become hair, doorways and the starting point for a forest spiral. Willow and recycled wood become figures of their own.

A quotation from George Orwell
Artists don’t so much object to aesthetic discipline. Architects will design theatres or churches equally readily, writers will switch from the three-volume novel to the one-volume, or from the play to the film, according to the demand. But the point is that this is a political age. A writer inevitably writes — and less directly this applies to all the arts — about contemporary events, and his impulse is to tell what he believes to be the truth. But no government, no big organization, will pay for the truth. To take a crude example: can you imagine the British Government commissioning E. M. Forster to write A Passage to India? He could only write it because he was not dependent on State aid.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1944-10-13), “As I Please” column, Tribune NewspaperMore about this quote: wist.info/orwell-george/42525/

As a follow-up to my previous post, and with thanks to Jeremy Nickaruk for the inspiration, I went back to Sir Winston Churchill Square this evening in order to take these pictures. As you can see, the Moon Garden light show by Lucion is quite lovely.
The colours in the domes change every few minutes and I saw them purple, red, and orange.
It surprised me to realize that as the model railway train in the biggest dome circles the track its light casts shadows of the buildings and characters in the tableau onto the walls of the dome.
The images appear and disappear quickly, so getting a good photo is a challenge!
There were no skaters on the outdoor rink when I was there, but perhaps they were all enjoying their evening meal at the Sherlock Holmes Pub. I can confirm that it was full of happy diners.
And, here’s a funny sort-of-related story. As I was walking towards the library (which is beside Churchill Square) to meet my eldest child, I realized that the sidewalk came to an end at a construction site. I turned to another pedestrian who was in the same situation and I asked him how I could manoeuvre around the construction. He apologized! “I’m sorry,” he said. “I should have explained that you have to cross over the main street, walk up a block and around a pathway beside another construction site, and then you cross back over to the library.” I was in awe. This lovely young man did not only explain my way around a pedestrian blockage, he apologized for not having explained earlier! That is SO Canadian.

These pics were taken on a road trip to #Centralvictoria, specifically #Colbinabbin, late December last year.
These magic scenes are just one collection of many throughout our State (and beyond), which have been affectionately dubbed #siloart.
This collection I believe is known as ‘THE COLBINABBIN FARMERS' PICNIC’, which depicts the locals of the district coming together back in the day, for an annual chance to relax and unwind!
I marvelled at these for some time. And must admit, was taken back to a different time to those we experience today.
The quality was superb and scale of these things; epic.
