Bunker

14,000 clothes pegs to make a stack of plumbing pipes from the back of a builders truck; 5,500 wooden school rulers to make a dingy for convicts and refugees: 5,000 pairs of chopsticks to make three tyres. Glen Clarke was the winner of the last National Sculpture Prize in 2006, and since then he has exhibited widely throughout Australia and overseas. For the last few years Glen has been hard at work clearing land mines in Vietnam, and his latest body of work, Bunker makes reference to his experiences.
