| ©2018 Barry Smith - Buttress Root sculpture and Poetry Post restored |
The Buttress Root sculpture above (adjacent to the Little Yabba Creek picnic area) was officially launched-opened in December last year. It seem it has been very popular with much reporting of visits to it.
But maybe it was a little too popular - as you can see from the photos below somebody thought they might souvenir the stainless steel cap that sealed the Poetry Post adjacent to the sculpture. I wonder what someone will use a 25cm square stainless steel post cap for!!!!

The Sunshine Coast Council agreed to replace the cap; and agreed to my quote to do the work. I arranged for a new cap to be fabricated and picked it up on Wednesday afternoon. I installed it on Thursday morning. As you can see the new cap once again finishes and protects the post.

The sculpture and post have been restored to there former beauty. as the first photo shows. This time as well as using industrial glue to keep the cap on we have added security screws.
good repair Barry but why would anyone want to steal that cap!
ReplyDeleteI don’t understand the impulse that leads to vandalism, but I fear it is a symptom of a greater dis-ease in society
ReplyDeleteHi MC and LA - thanks for your support - agree - hard to understand vandalism particularly given it is art that tries to bring some beauty into the world. Peace. B
