Have you noticed a strange flying machine resting on a dam bank just out of Hopetoun?

For those of you who attended the very successful Wings and Wheel festival over the long weekend in February you will know it is an “Art Piece” made from scrap metal sourced from local farms and the tip.

The Ravensthorpe Regional Arts Council was very fortunate to acquire the talents of international artist Len Zuks to run the workshop.  The theme was designed to compliment the festival and was held on Forrest the Friday prior to the Festival.

Len is an acclaimed WA Artist who runs his own gallery at Bunjup just out of Perth.  Len has been invited to participate in solo and numerous group exhibitions at various galleries both locally, interstate and nationally.    He has won may prizes for his work in sculpture and painting and is represented in numerous public and private collections.

Several individual pieces and a main collaborative sculpture were completed and transported to the airport on the Saturday.

Local Artist Lynell Belli, inspired by her observations at the workshop completed and exhibited her paintings in the RRAC tent at the Festival.
