Rustic Art Installation


Finally decided on a location for a terracotta sculpture that I purchased over 10 years ago on a trip to Tasmania with my mum and brother.  It is an Australian marsupial - the sugar glider (Peaurus breviceps - a gliding possum that lives in trees in Australia).

I decided on a lichen covered totara fence post collected on a trip to Taranaki - from an old abandoned Tarata shearing shed (I have a real obsession with old rural materials - rust, silvered timber and wire).  So the sugar glider now has pride of place in a corner of the potager.
