Over 500 visitors came to see the wonderful recycled and natural sculptural works at the Lismore Rainforest Botanic Gardens, in the ReCreate Sculpture Exhibition.
Now the votes have been counted and the final prizes have been awarded for the Summerland Bank People’s Choice Awards.
‘Me and My Dog Max’ by David Thamm was the outstanding winner. The Friends of the Lismore Rainforest Botanic Gardens say the ingenuity, creativity and emotional power of David’s sculpture left many visitors in awe, spending extra time admiring all the special touches which characterised his work.
Runner up and winner of the Revolve Shop Award was Caroline Betts, with her stunning sculpture, ‘The Watcher’. Made from a whirlygig, headlights, CDs, and much more, Caroline’s sculpture captivated visitors.
Located in the rainforest section, it calmly and powerfully kept an eye on its surroundings.
The Friends of the Lismore Rainforest Botanic Gardens would like to thank all the exhibitors for their participation and skill, in particular the exceptional teachers who inspired their students to create these beautiful works.
