AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

More than a sculpture
More than a still wooden face
Unlocked memory

You captured the face perfectly Gemma. It's a powerful sculpture. I wanted to take a sculpture course when I was in college, but I was a grad assistant and simply didn't have the time.

I have a wire sculpture of a reclining cow that I did for art class way back that I keep on top of my bookcase.
