Posted on January 2, 2009 by AHC McDonald

More art genitals

Posted on December 22, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Saw this in Kings Park today. At first I thought these women’s genitals had been very poorly rendered by the artist, until I realised that they had been added later by “amateur” craftsmen. That’s the problem with limestone, you can … Continue reading →

Posted on December 10, 2008 by AHC McDonald

A few months ago I posted about the Yagan statue which has famously lost its head a couple of times. I believed it had been fenced off, but someone pointed out that you could still get to it.  So I … Continue reading →

Posted on December 1, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Superb find from Vic Demised. Eric the abandoned still sitting in Miss Maude’s carpark, Fitzgerald St. Is it the John Forrest/Club Capricorn Artist? Looks suspiciously like it.

Bunbarians at the gates

Posted on November 10, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Despite having visited Bunbury for decades, I think I had blocked out this monstrosity, the sculpture of Lord Forrest, Baron of Bunbury next to the pissoirs in the main street. I thought it must be a recent eyesore, but the … Continue reading →
