That stormy sky behind is a great backdrop for this interesting sculptural work that stands in the grounds at Heidi Gallery in Heidelberg, Melbourne. The surface constantly changes in appearance due to the light and shadow of the sun and the ever-moving cloud formations.

Once upon a time glowing gilt and golden, gradually meditating in a garden is altering the appearance of this little Buddha. 

He was rescued many years back from the side of the road where he was dumped for hard rubbish collection. He had a chipped nose and a few bits of gilt were flaking, but he still looked great.

He seems to enjoy moving about the garden as plants grow and overshadow his portly frame. However in this spot he himself seems to be growing and becoming one with the plant life.

Is it a line of long-legged beheaded beings joined by piping?

or a prehistoric monster become wood?

Or a clever use of trees that had to be cleared to establish the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens in Victoria being put to artistic purpose?

It is certainly a fun to walk through the ‘limbs’. Once across the small bridge at the end of the creature another section of the garden unfolds.

I took this photo in the early days of the garden’s life, I have to go back this year I think to see what has taken shape since then. I wonder if this magnificent effort will still be standing. I rather hope it is.

This is intricate work - like it very much indeed.
