Lake Dunn Sculpture Trail
"Meet the sculptor”,
Milynda Rogers What is your inspiration?
I think that my inspiration comes from the characters and animals that surround us here. I like to make my sculptures have a real personality. However, that is not always easy with the materials that I use.
How long does it take to build a sculpture?
It takes anywhere from a few hours to three months or more depending on the size of the sculpture. The JT sculpture took about 10 months while the butterflies took a couple of days. Do your hands get cut by the barbed wire? Yes, sometimes they do. I always wear gloves but barbed wire is very sharp and I usually do get a few scratches but not deep. How much barbed wire do you use in a sculpture? It is a lot. A barbed wire ball that is approximately 600mm high and I will use about 150 metres of barbed wire or more. The dinosaur that I made for Muttaburra had three kilometres of barbed wire in it
