Dual Sculpture by Greg Johns | The University of Adelaide :: HDR

I actually have no intention to post this shot. Really the purpose of this photo was to help a friend to take some interesting sculpture images for her project back in June 2009. Well being a nice guy (as always :P), its pretty easy work for me. However her project didn't quite go ahead so all the sculpture shots i've taken are pretty much sitting ducks in my hard drive. It was until early this yr, when I was approached by the editor of National Tiertiary Education Union, who wanted to purchase a sculpture image for a book cover however it has to be located within the premises of a university. Bingo! It does help to have all sort of shots ready in your folder :D

End of the day, the moral of the Artie's story is

Good karma will come your way one way or another when you're willing to lend a helping hand to others! ;)

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MUMS OUT THERE TOO !!!

About

Dual sculpture located opposite Engineering South Building in the North Terrace Campus of Adelaide University, South Australia

Year: 1978-9
Dual was commenced in 1978 and was built with steel that was purchased for him by Max Lyle. This is another of Johns work which concentrates on the circle as a functional form; in this case, he is experimenting with ideas of creating a partnership in the form by breaking it in half. It was first installed on the lawns of the Barr Smith Library, but was moved to the Adelaide University grounds after being damaged and vandalised.
