Article Alert: New Ceramic Ned Kelly Statue

From google alerts comes this article about a new ceramic Ned Kelly statue:

"Bushranger is Still Big News at Nepean Tafe"

According to the article the creators of the ceramic Ned statue have great attitudes:


Mr Matts said they created a face under the helm to show Ned Kelly was more than just a suit of armour. “We want to show the man behind the mask,” he said.
“He had a lot of compassion for friends and family. He was a person, not just an outlaw in an armoured suit wanting to shoot a copper or two.”

    No need to apologise to me as I did not build it. :) I just put Ned articles of interest here (some more interesting than others and others I don't put as they are marginal in their Nedness). Always good to be up on what is new!

    I have seen many Ned sculptures and Ned artworks that were not my cup of tea, either. At least the young men had their hearts in the right place and are to be commended for the skill and time they put into the creation of it. Would like to see it with the helmet on. :)
