Art show defies Black Saturday devastation

FOR 17 years Marysville Primary School has run an annual art exhibition, showcasing local and interstate talent over the Melbourne Cup weekend. This year the only thing left of the school is a desolate field of rubble and charcoal €” but the art show is bigger than ever.

CAUGHT BETWEEN A ROCK AND FIRST PLACE

IT MIGHT look like a meteorite but Time and Tide Granite Monolith II, the naturalistic sculpture that yesterday won Sculpture By the Sea's $60,000 top prize, has received a wave of earthly praise for its "incredible simplicity". The artwork's 91-year-old creator, May Barrie, said the giant piece was "bloody hard work ... but still, because you want to do it, it doesn't matter". She thought it was a "a good work" and was glad others agreed.
