Werribee Park and Mansion is currently housing the annual Helen Lempriere National Sculpture Award. This week I plan to show you some of my favourite sculptures from the exhibition. Today I have chosen this shot to show you the mansion and grounds where they are held, with one of the sculptures in the foreground. This work is entitled Herbaceous and was created by Brigit Heller out of rusty steel. “Herbaceous attempts to describe a relationship with the natiyral landscape………The scale of work permits the viewer to immerse him or herself in what seems like a giant field of steel crops” The exhibition runs unti the 27th May 2007.
