​“The Buoyed Phoenix” (with apologies to Guy Boyd)

Created from found, repurposed, salvaged objects with patina which I have brought
together to represent the mythical creature, Phoenix. This is the Phoenix rising from the
ashes. A free-standing sculpture about 2 m high 500mm wide at the top. Made from a
plastic buoy, rusted metal, old rake hoe, Yellowbox gum, rusted barbed wire, Wok ring,
steel mannequin stand, copper wire and paint and opp shop jewellery, burnt bottle brush
seed pods and charcoal.
Colac Otway Arts Trail respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of this land - Gulidjan and Gadubanud, Their Ancestors and Elders, past, present and all First Nation’s people of this country
