The sculpture had to be moved out of the tent and across a paddock up to where the truck can load it safely. Grant was faced with doing this virtually by himself. He worked out a system with rails and a winch attached to the tractor.
It must have been amazing to see it emerge into the natural light for the first time.
The rails were coated with oil and had to be levelled all the way along.
I'm not sure how Grant managed this by himself. I arrived home after work at this point and could help him with levelling.
It was extraordinary watching it inching along.
Grant had trouble staying upright by the end of this day.
Nearly there...
And here it is. Just needs wrapping and then picked up by the truck. I thought it looked fantastic in its bush setting. Unfortuately, we can't keep it.
