Fell for Silo - McClelland Gallery


Finally my latest work Fell for Silo is now installed in the bushland at McClelland gallery. The work contains a decommissioned 1950's wheat silo sourced from a farm in the town of Charlton Victoria and a 10m pine tree felled and reconfigured on site at the gallery.

Poet of the zeitgeistPropelled by Duchamp's legacy of the ready-made, yet infused with a classical sense of craft, Robbie Rowlands finds things such as discarded boom gates, telegraph poles, goalposts, old iron beds, what-have-you. Then, armed with various saws, he fastidiously cuts, slices and tenderly realigns them. The result is at once comic and elegiac. His once-vaulting steel goalpost, symbol of national pride, worms in a collapsed deflated spiral. Telegraph pole becomes jumbled monument to a failed industrial utopianism but also tribute to mighty river redgums. Rowlands is folk poet of the zeitgist and is to be watched.
