With this sculpture Sarrita wanted to translate her Fire & Lightning stories into a 3D object. The choice to use metal is a reflection on the strength and longevity of the Australian Indigenous culture and the stories passed down over the centuries. The rust is a reflection of the age of the markings and long history of these stories.

Judge's Comments MIFGS 2023

My special mention in this category goes to Fire & Lightening.

It really does capture that strike made by lightening. The base has beautiful patterning which will become even more apparent over time as nature plays her part as it matures with the elements.

A very successful sculpture.
