G. W. BOT (born 1954) Tree of Life I 2014 raw steel (5 pieces) 126 x 280 x 10cm (overall, variable) PROVENANCE: Beaver Galleries, Canberra The National Australia Bank Art Collection EXHIBITIONS: Beaver Galleries at the Melbourne Art Fair, Melbourne, 13-17 August 2014 OTHER NOTES: "The glyphs are relief sculptures (or steel drawings). There are all sorts of languages cut into the steel shapes, which also cast their own tiny shadow stories on to the wall and the placement of each glyph in relation to each other sets up a conversation or dance between them all." "Steel is such an iconic material for Australia, steel being a refined version of iron. Bits of it lie scattered all over the landscape, reminders of past lives. The rusting process is a reminder of our own transience on Earth, the earthiness of the rust colour a reminder of the Earth we live on." (G.W. Bot, interviewed by Janet McKenzie for Studio International, 6 October 2014)
