Voit and daffy at Melbourne University
Voit and Daffy Duck are about to go global. He was left at the Babel building, Melbourne University in February with the poem Heraclitus by William Cory.
“They told me, Heraclitus, they told me you were dead….”
Unfortunately the snails ate the poem so it was replaced with a laminated hard copy of
A Pity of Love by Yeats on 21/3/12. The sculpture was still there with Daffy.
There is an idea that these sculptures are you and I, they are twins where one choses to sleep in the open and one takes the safer option and stay at home.
Which is living a more meaningful life?

I am sending these sculptures out into the world to have a dialogue with those interested in some of the existential questions like what are we all doing here? and what is the meaning of our existence if any? Each sculpture has a" twin". One twin stays at home under the safety of a somewhat boring bland roof of a dolls house found in hard rubbish. The other is left out in the world somewhere with a poem to engage you in these questions of our existence and our memories. Which existence is better? Is there such a thing as a better life?
The poems are sometimes in French because the Xmas fortune cookie said " The sum of human knowledge is not contained in any one language."
I hope over time a dialogue might begin where the sculptures create a means for us to relate in the quiet of the blog site. What this dialogue will mean or not is yet to be revealed!
