My daughter is totally a creative genius

This is a boastful post,  just be warned.

Ivy uncovered an unopened packet of modelling clay,  and she asked for help getting started. I found her a board to work on,  and snipped off some of the clay.

After working hard for at least six minutes,  she produced this truly amazing object. Its title is "Three rocks, squashed together".

I think that it had been influenced by a work we enjoyed last weekend, at the Lorne Sculpture Biennale. Ivy and I went for a bush walk and saw a little dark green sculpture made by a wombat,  entitled "Seven cuboid turds, lightly pressed together and left in the middle of the path,  crawling with little flies".

Ivy's inspiring work resonates with the wombat's, building a dialogue across time, space, and species.
