Art and Sculpture Garden Destroyed by Forest Fires
I just got an e-mail with a beautiful powerpoint and the following text (link added by me):
“As an artist myself, I am sending you the attachment to one of the world’s most unique and deeply inspiring experiences for art and garden lovers of all ages created by Bruno Torfs. On Saturday the raging fires in Victoria completely destroyed his unique forest creation taking over 300 paintings and scuptures. As you take a walk through the forest on the attachment herein, please take a moment to reflect on the beauty gone and the many people who have lost their homes, their loved ones, their livelihoods, the severely injured, the animal life and the dedicated firefighters, police, civilians, and those involved in caring for the traumatized and injured. Peccato! Schade.”
Interestingly enough, the name of this garden artist is “Torf”, a German name for peat, which is used to nourish plants…
May the powerpoint and the website keep this bygone beauty in a good memory.
