Gargoyles Galore!

[klward]

To all aficionados of the grotesque and graven: I have an article, "Australian Gargoyles", in this month's Art Monthly Australia. A colloquial history of gargoyles in Australia, incorporating commentary from contemporary sculptors and photos taken in three cities (and during two SF conventions). Art Monthly Australia is readily available in newsagents nationwide; gargoyles, too, can be found throughout this country in a bewildering variety of sizes, shapes and symbolism. They are excellent subject for photography but hard to interview. Still, I have done my best.

Yes, my icon is smoking. I'm sure I couldn't say what, but he's stoned.

Dizzy, I had a full Stehdal reaction to the Lourve.

Congratulations I will have to find a copy. Did you mention the kangeroo gargoyle at the Uni of Sudney? And the fanged sheep on the Church in Sheppeton, Vic?

Darling, that was me in the Prado.

The kangaroo on the Great Tower gets a specific mention. But sheep, fanged sheep; now let me think... um (riffles through pages, swearing frantically). No. And I don't believe you : )
