MALLEE GARDEN NEWS

Manangatang Sculptures

The very last pebble was set in place on the Three Wise Men and The Water Carrier, the sculptures at the Manangatang Mallee Garden, on Friday 2^nd July. After hundreds, if not thousands of hours work, Marion Caccianiga stood back and proclaimed…

The sculptures are finished!

From the design, conception and modelling…to the welding…the chicken wiring…the fibreglass wrapping…concrete mixing…the first of many layers of ‘special’ sculpting concrete…to the final layer of the mosaics… a large number of our community have been involved in the creation of these works of art. THANK YOU!

Marion Caccianiga was the perfect teacher. She demonstrated patience and passion in her guidance throughout the entire project. Often ready to put in the long hours during less than ideal conditions, offered plenty of praise and encouragement, rang around for working bee helpers many times, and was always organised with all the equipment and materials needed for our project. A huge THANK-YOU to Marion.

Please take the time to go up close to our community sculptures. Many people have been surprised at the amount of detail and historical treasures that have been embedded into them…they are a real treasure trove of all sorts of interesting items…badges, old machinery parts, jewellery, glittery swirls, taps (!). Take a look for yourself.
