Sculpture Down the Lachlan is the newest tourist attraction in the Central West of NSW. The 100-kilometre arts trail starts in Forbes and follows the Lachlan River along the Lachlan Valley Way to Condobolin. But Sculpture Down the Lachlan isn't your ordinary public art trail - think Sculptures by the Sea... but in the bush. Art embedded in nature. Designed to showcase the raw, unmanicured beauty of the rural landscape in which envelops the larger-than-life installations. Featuring over twenty sculptures by some of Australia's leading creatives. The most prominent is the Heart of Country by Damian Vick. He stands proudly at six metres tall. His bold stance and keen focus cut a potent and deadly impression whilst making the inescapable suggestion that he is searching for something unseen, lost along the way, relegated to the past. The one-tonne Corten Steel sculpture explores the notions of strength, vulnerability and connection. 'Heart of Country' is an attempt to acknowledge the injustices endured by the Wiradjuri people whilst also standing as a testament to the collective resilience and determination of all indigenous Australians and their profound spiritual connection with the land.
Any photo in my collection can be made as a stunning black & white print.
