Triste peers out from the flats. He hasn’t been out for six years and now he’s been chosen to be in the exhibition.
Triste and all the stay at home folk were at Balkon Art Incubator, Preston, Melbourne on 14th, 15th, 21st and 22nd July 2018. And now they are famous You Tubers!!! Apologies for the rather serious nervous film maker!
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!
graffittigranny has been wandering the streets of Melbourne leaving sculptures and poems since February 2012 and then in April2012 she discovered the world wide web! This is a world wide sculpture project pondering life and where we all end up close to home or far from home.
Pondering where is "home"?
I hope you feel free to comment on this tiny project in the great big pond of the world wide web and remember that that is tiny compared to the universe!
