Update on "The Birth of Venus" removed from its position at Woorim Beach, Bribie Island.
Thank you to everyone who has emailed or written in support of Antone's sculpture "The Birth of Venus" at Woorim, Bribie Island, removed by the local Council as "offensive to women". Antone says: The support has been heartening and humbling and I sincerely appreciate it. I find it has encouraged me to continue along the path that I am. It is also wonderful to see so many art lovers coming forward with comments and opinions. Debate in the arts is always a healthy sign of civilisation. For those of you who haven't seen the Courier Mail photos and articles, here is one view of the sculptures removed. For more photos, go to the Courier Mail website and put "Bribie sculpture" into the search box.

Some words from owners of Antone's sculptures
	“Dear Antone, Thank you seems not enough to express the wonder and joy gained from the presence here of “The Nightwatcher”. In awe, I see her interact with Sun and Moon, wind and rain. She absorbs their energies. The play of light and shadows and raindrops reveal so many transformations. So amazing. It is as if she is responding and pulsating to the rhythm of life. Her hollowed wing, sometimes wing, sometimes petal, at other moments becomes a portal, even a second bird. Continually changing, observing, calling our senses to attention. As she is caressed by wind and rain, embraced by the Sun, my hope is that she feels at one here. Such a depth of awe and emotion—this not only for the created but her creator. You have an amazing gift and we are so blessed to have you share it with us. Your stone sings and whispers an ever present reminder of Mother Earth, her many aspects and especially of her magnificence.” - Christina and Brian, owners of “The Nightwatcher”
