Art and sculpture

I quite enjoy these garish sculptures of fat sheep and their rather incompetent-seeming sheepdog in the Dickson shopping precinct.

Another new person started at work today so I am no longer the newest kid on the block. Apparently new staff = cake, which is fine by me.

Look what I found on my phone when I was clearing out photos. This bemused Burmese can still make me smile.

A trip to the National Library of Australia reminded me how great are these artworks hanging in the foyer. There are three stunning tapestries, made from merino wool, which were conceived to harmonise with Leonard French's stained-glass windows, and designed to be best viewed from the mezzanine level. Mathieu Matégot, Professor of Art at the prestigious École des Beaux Arts in Nancy, France, began working on the tapestries in 1966 and they were installed in 1968.

The first tapestry depicts the radio telescope at Woomera, South Australia, representing the technological times in which the library was built. Woomera was NASA's first deep-space station located outside of the United States, and it participated in a number of early important space missions.
