May Gibbs Inspiration
Artist: Charles and Joan Smith
Year of Work: 2006
Location: Windsor Park, South Perth - NE Part of Park, under Trees
Description: "This sculpture captured the moment in time – when inspired by her love of the West Australian bush and wildlife – May Gibbs glimpsed at those ‘little creatures’ that became the genesis of the magical and enchanting world she created. We wanted to create an atmosphere where perhaps May Gibbs, while sitting in the nature that she loved, glimpsed or imagined the lovable bush creatures that she became famous for.”
