Tom Bass Memorial
Address 2012
This richly illustrated address recalls Bass’s own humane, passionate ethos through the sculpture he made to represent the Spirit of Community long before such a thing was discernible in the dusty little national capital. The focus will be on Ethos as a way of continuing to renew the roles that Bass played in the public life of Australia throughout his 60-year career.
His Canberra friend Glenda Cloughley will spoke of the artist as a seer and generator of totems that reflect the emotional truth and possibility of the people in a place and time.
