It has been quite a long journey but in the whole scheme of things is really only the beginning. I did my Fine Arts undergraduate and then honours year at Monash University, Melbourne and finished off the degrees with a puplic sculpture at the Kingston Centre in Cheltenham, Melbourne. It is still there although grey and weathered it stands tall at 30 feet in height. It took me 1 month full-time to complete it. I used a variety of tools from 3 chainsaws, an adze to remove bark and chisels and a mallet and a wood rasp to smooth some areas. I would wake up in the night with my arms reverberating with muscular fatige however I knew every inch of that tree and found the process very fulfilling and meaningful.
