Peter Day, A Trap for Young Players, Bronze, Steel and Golf Ball, 2019.
"This work is both a serious and a comical comment. It is meant to point out that many sculptures today rely on glib statements and comical aphorisms for their shallow visual meaning.
Also, the work reflects on my experience as a child on vacation in the Central West of NSW, where rabbiting was necessary to keep their numbers in check. In the Great Depression many people only ever had rabbit to eat for protein. I can still remember in the 1950’s a bloke in a horse and cart selling rabbits for food, calling out…. Raabbiittoooooo!"
LIBRARY SCULPTURE PLINTH

Peter Day, The Old Bull, Rusted Mild Steel and Timber, 2019
"Inspired by Picassos Bulls Head made of a bicycle seat and handlebars - a sculpture of found items made in1942. Barbed wire is synonymous with regional Australia and has created large benefits for the country. However, it has many positive and negative associations where contemplation is encouraged. The forms that can be made with it are fascinating to me and will be the subject of many more sculptures. The timber is the top of a fence post."
