1
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Time for the podcast. What do we got today on

2
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: the cutting room floor, Amanda.

3
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about an interesting sculptor. Her name is

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: Margaret Sheridan. She's an eighty five year old psychiatrist. Surprised

5
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 2: you haven't seen.

6
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 3: Her, Brendan anyway, what do you say? Nothing?

7
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: Nothing, but what happened. She's a sculptor and she had

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: made a life sized sandstone sculpture of a woman and

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: then it blew over in the wind a couple of

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: years ago. So it was made for it was commissioned

11
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 2: for a couple. It blew over in the wind. She

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: tried to fix it for the couple and then she

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: tripped over it and it broke into even more.

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: It's like a clown.

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: She does sound a little bit like a clown show.

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: And the couple didn't want it back, so she used

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: special glue for the sandstone, put all the pieces back together,

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 2: called it Fallen Woman, and it's now being exhibited at

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: the B and Aali in Venice, which is a huge

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: pinnacle of artistic achievement. Yeah, so what I find interesting

21
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: about this? Have you heard of kinsugi?

22
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: No?

23
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: Kinsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery back together.

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: So if something breaks, so you've got pottery that's broken,

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: you reglue it with gold thread with gold glue and

26
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: it's beautiful. But not only does it look beautiful, it's

27
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: the concept behind it that's so lovely because it's a

28
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: metaphor for embracing your flaws and your imperfections, and rather

29
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 2: than discarding something that's not perfect, it's leaning into its

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: imperfections and creating something incredible with it.

31
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 3: Right.

32
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: That might be the case for my mum's ladro that

33
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: I broke when I was twelve.

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: When you're in that pink when you're in that yellow

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: page's commercial.

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: No, there's a y and she still got it. Oh

37
00:01:59,160 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: you seriously did?

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, broke a ladder and there's the angel wing. You

39
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: can see whether the glue or a glue still gags.

40
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: She knows about it, though.

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: You see.

42
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: And that now is a charming story. And so when

43
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 2: it comes time for you to have that in your house,

44
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: that's the story.

45
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's charming. Mum. Always when you

46
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: idiots broke my ladro because we were fighting.

47
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: Interesting, remember Arthur Street and the artist painter up there,

48
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: there's a painting.

49
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: I think it's called fire in the Hole.

50
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: It was painted in the eighteen fifties thereabouts, and it's

51
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: out broken hillway and it's a painting of a they

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: were blowing up a gold mine and Arthur Streeton was

53
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: at the time painting what was going on there. And

54
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: a bit of rubble that blew that went in the

55
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: explosion went through the.

56
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: Canvas as he was painted a hole in it.

57
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so in the canvas you get there's a

58
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: patch you can see with the patch where.

59
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: Street and put it over that, over that particular.

60
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: Paine And has that increased its value of.

61
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 3: Course whether that's that's what art is, I guess.

62
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: So when your mum goes to sell the Laddro, she

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: puts to know it's saying Brendan jonesy Jones broke this

64
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: as a child. Will you take your mum's ladro? Because

65
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: that's another discussion. We are the first generation who don't

66
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: want to take our parents' stuff. Yeah, we're the generation

67
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: that are downsizing, that don't have our houses aren't as

68
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: big as usually as the houses we grew up in.

69
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: We don't want mum's dining table that actually came from

70
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: Grandma or Missiska foops down the road. We are buying

71
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: the younger people are buying Ikea, stuff that's small and

72
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: easily transportable when you're renting. So will you take your

73
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: mum's ladro Yeah.

74
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: It's curious.

75
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: My mum's got a great dining room table and it

76
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: looks like something straight out of the Jetsons.

77
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: Remember the Jetsons purported to be in the future.

78
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they came out in the sixties. But this

79
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: dining room table, is it for Micah?

80
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: No?

81
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: No, no, it's a it's wood, polished wood, but really skinny.

82
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: Wow. That is fantastic it is.

83
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: And it's not that big, old school chunky stuff.

84
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: No, no, it's like what they thought the future would be

85
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: back in the seventies.

86
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's so well made. All Dovetail would join.

87
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: Your siblings are probably five for that.

88
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: Well, they can have it. I don't necessarily want.

89
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: When Harley came back from New Zealand once, he said, oh,

90
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: I've arranged to bring mum and dad's furniture back, and

91
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: I went great, because we don't have space. I didn't

92
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: take my mum and dad's stuff. I just don't have space.

93
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: And he said it's chairs. Its stools and a big

94
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: table just cut roughly from old trees, like a forest setting.

95
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: He was making up the whole thing because.

96
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: He knew that I would have that stuff that I

97
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: would hate that the clubhouse.

98
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh do they brendan heavy hewn woods.

99
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but all it's as if you've just taken a

100
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: tree and saun it.

101
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: In and you have just sit on that chainsaw. Yeah.

102
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: So he was making all that up.

103
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 3: Got me a beauty. What about his bi centennial table?

104
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: Oh God, who knows where that is now? Well, I

105
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: call it the by centennial table because we were married

106
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety and that table was in the garage

107
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: because he was going to fix it up any minute.

108
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: Never looked at it again. But it came from house,

109
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: moved to house.

110
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: Moved to house, move, and you just dragged around, just.

111
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: Drag it around. It's it's the spirit of optimism and potential.

112
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: That's what I should have called that table.

113
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: That's your art piece and all the cracks that go

114
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: with it.

115
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: And I've shown a few kids.

116
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: That's good for today.

117
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 2: Con
