Exquisite sculpture donated by artist

Victorian sculptor Shona Nunan has presented this exquisite bronze sculpture of a young boy to the University. Ms Nunan is a sculptor or high repute whose works are mainly in private collections. The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ken McKinnon admired this piece at an exhibition at the Holdsworth Gallery in Sydney recently. Ms Nunan offered the sculpture to the Univer­ sity because she was keen to have her work exhibited in public places so that they could be enjoyed by many. 'Young boy' encapsulates the awkwardness of adolescence while embodying idealism and purity. It stands 145cm high and will be placed in an appropriate location following discussions with the School of Creative Arts. Ms Nunan studied sculpture at the Royal Mel­ bourne Institute of Technology. She has under­ taken subsequent research and studies into PNG contemporary artists. Aboriginal art and sacred art, and Buddhist art. She has held the positioiis of Lecturer in Draw­ ing and Cultural Studies at the University of Papua New Guinea and Art Conservationist, Prahan City Council Victoria. In 1988 she established Art Explorations at Castlemaine in Victoria - an Art School for chil­ dren. She has had exhibitions in major galleries in Victoria and NSW.
