placement 6 - with and with eachother - where I met some of my best friends

Well I did enjoy this one!

This sculpture sort of reminds me of foetal twins.
It has a story behind it I'm sure, but today when I placed the cup its meaning became perfectly clear . ..
its two friends having a cup of tea together.

It was public art sitting on public art.

and it was also the artist's cup!

and when I went back two hours later it was still there - the cup and the concrete sculpture!

an interesting memorial nearby

Message in a Cup

Messages and stories of learning in Footscray are collected and then written onto the insides of one hundred handmade blue cups. The cups are placed in Footscray during BluScray events to be found by people and taken home. The project gives voice to peoples experiences and understandings of learning and shares these ideas with others in the city of Footscray.
