I love my home away from home but I was learning about a whole new group of people I had known most of my life but because of my own dramas and world, never knew as good as I should have. I was sad to be leaving them.
The world sometimes has a way of showing you that it loves you.
I got to know my heart, my love...Z, coming back to Melbourne.
I also got to see something I never thought I was going to see.
My Favourite Artist, Ron Mueck
I had just written a paper about him and longed to see his work so, you could imagine my surprise when A and I went to see an AC/DC exhibit (I love them too!!!)
WOO HOO! AC/DC!!!!
Anyway, We went to see what was at the NGV.
I, as a collector of pamphlets, picked up their up and coming shows to see that my dreams were coming true and I would see his work in person.
I quickly went to the information desk to confirm I was reading this right and spoke with the most straightforward young man that asked me if I liked Ron's work.
"Of Course I said" not being able to hold in how giddy I was with happiness.
He then said to me...
"Sad, that not many know who he is even though, he is one of Melbourne's greatest artist, great artists shouldn't have to die to become great"
I agreed with him. He is a great artist that not one many know anything about. His work is beyond what I could capture on film.
It is almost magical. It is so real, you can almost see them breathing. It takes your own breath away.
I think at one moment I may have even teared up while looking at the "youth" statue.
So here are some of the photos I took of Ron Mueck's Exhibit at the NGV 2010.
I hope you enjoy them.
I will post more.
