1st Place: 3D Works

This piece is carved in honour of the legendary bushman from the Darling Downs, R. M. Williams AU CMG who became world famous for creating the high-quality riding or workman’s boots known in rural areas simply as RM‘s. On our property ‘The Stiks‘ at Kumbarilla, the main trunk of a Budgeroo tree was burnt out during bushfires more than 60 years ago. All that remained was a partially burnt tree root protruding from the forest floor. The shape of the remaining root inspired me to create this stylised version of an RM boot.
