My artist friend, Sally Kidall, has a creative son who found on line a 3D Printer program for a mini dinner table ….I was very amazed to see and HEAR this little table come into being…..Here is a recording of the mechanical sound of the printer at work. I think it could be the basis of DINNER’S soundscape. I better ask my music collaborator it he sees the potential too!
I sold a small sculpture at Sculpture by the Sea, Aarhus! It feels so good! Maybe the drought has broken! It is one in a series of five (5)….in case you like it and must have one too!
It was Danny Kay who called it ‘Copenahogen’ instead of the locally correct ‘COPENHAAGEN’. Another myth bites the dirt! I got to eat a Danish pastry in Denmark….quite accidentally, sitting in front of the famous ‘Tivolli’. I saw that the big “M” had got to this city before me! Thought of the Ugly Duckling who was really a signet.
I had the BEST time in Denmark because of my wonderful hosts…Michael and Birthe Huidtfeldt! I am hoping they will come this way to visit us in Australia because they have relatives in New Zealand
Yes, I still can’t believe that I had a visit to STACKHOUSE by the Crown Prince of Denmark! In fact I almost missed it! The arrival was much later than was expected so though I had been waiting by my sculpture, I was now making my way toward the Official Reception. Then suddenly my friend ran up behind me a said get back to your sculpture – he’s on the way! Indeed, his entourage made its way up the hill to chat to me after a long, long way around the circuit of sculptures. I was so excited and nervous that I forgot to say ‘Hello, your Highness’. He did after all introduce himself with ‘Hi, I’m Frederich’. He was very approachable and made interested comments about my sculpture. I was thrilled!! I still am thrilled!! What a great day!
I arrived in Aarhus today to find an impressive STACKHOUSE in situ. Just some last minute adjustments and it is ready for the crowds! many thanks to Axel and his team. also, thank you to my wonderful hosts in Denmark!
This is the image of STACKHOUSE that inspired the Danes to build it in Denmark and include it in Sculpture by the Sea. The problem was going to be how to find similar wood as I made this from recycled Aussie fence palings. They did it and also did an excellent job duplicating it. once I get to Aarhus, I will document STACKHOUSE II as it should be entitled.
They have been very resourceful in finding suitable recycled timber to make STACKHOUSE in Aarhus, Denmark. This choice is very near the original recycled fence palings used in the Australian counterpart. I Hope there is enough timber. It is deceptive how much wood is actually needed. I am worried that in the in the spirit of the Goon Show…’You can’t get the wood, you know.’
I am excited to see how the project develops!My wood in Denmark
