TheArtIgnorant2

a p.s. to my last blog

with an apology to those 

who find it hard to read the red font

just another thought about the work of the panel 

and those in creswick who are busy 

trying to undermine that work

allow me to comfort you dear creswick citizens

with the thought that when i was in the same position 

 designing the 'architectural fragment' 

many hated the idea of a piece of broken architecture 

     in the main street of melbourne, 

but i persevered and won the council over 

although not many of the populace

however, in time, the work got installed 

and has grown into one of melbourne's icons 

and a very well loved sculpture

which over the years has received a few awards 

of being the most popular sculpture in town 

and recently was included in 

the top 25 creative sculptures in the world.
and more recently the prestigious magazine 
architectural digest
 surveyed 11 of the world's most fascinating
sculptures and the fragment was one of them

so, dear citizens of creswick

please hang in there

don't take any notice of those undermining the work

you'll be surprised what will eventuate
when the work is in place and people, 
especially through the eyes of their kids,
will start to enjoy it  

and it will be a much visited and photographed work

 just like my fragment
