Travelling to Prague in 2007 has had a profound affect on my art practice with a figurative element emerging. Ghosts of the Past was inspired by the amazing architecture of the city of Prague and its rich cultural history. The statue in the Old Town Square was being restored at the time of my visit and was under wraps evoking in me a sense of mystery, uncovered history and a desire to discover what it was that was underneath.
"Ghosts of the Past 1" was the first work I made after my vist overseas earlier this year. It was inspired by my visit to the magnificent city of Prague. It will be shown in the 2007 Toyota Sculpture Exhibition at the Toyota Spirit Gallery 155 Bertie Street, Port Melbourne. Show opens on the 3rd of October and runs until 14th November. Opening hours are Thursday - Friday 1pm to 6pm or by appointment. Contact the Curator Ken Wong at communityspirit@toyota.com.au
