THE SCULPTURE PARK
Stephanie Burns and Stephen Hooper are in the process of building a sculpture park in Yass. The construction has been underway since 2006 on the 7 acre property, 3 mins from the Hume Highway The park is not currently open to the public. The Sculpture Park will be based on garden rooms for individual sculptures rather than large lawn areas with sculptures strategically placed around the grounds. There will be many avenues to walk along and numerous water features to view during spring and autumn. The twice yearly sculptural events will be widely publicised. Over the last two years we have planted over 800 shrubs and trees. The design of the park is developing, with several ponds having been built and the general shape of the plant rooms and walkways in place we have been able to start siting the sculptures. At the moment most of the sculptures are by Stephanie but with time we will extend the collection to include many other Australian sculptors. The one piece already in the collection and sited in the Cherry area is Lex Dickson's totem of 2005 below. |
