Andrew Frost, who uses the moniker Treeeart, said the sculptures were made from cypress and cedar wood and took him week to carve with a chainsaw.<\/p>\n
“It’s good that there’s more pieces in the park,” he said.<\/p>\n
“They are meant to be tactile and playful so hopefully they will bring some fun and joy for the children.”<\/p>\n
Andrew Cusick, chairman of Oakwood Neighbours Shed, said it was “fun to do something useful for the community”.<\/p>\n
“The funding had been raised for the sculptures but they hadn’t actually got anybody who could do the physical installation at the park itself,” he said.<\/p>\n
“That’s the kind of thing we like to do, so we got together as a group and basically dug a series of holes for the concrete pliths to be placed into, which the animals were placed on top of.<\/p>\n
“We’re really delighted that we could help. We are really proud of what we’ve done.”<\/p>\n
Councillors Pearce and Wright said they hoped the sculptures would “brighten up people’s day” when they visit the park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrew Frost, who uses the moniker Treeeart, said the sculptures were made from cypress and cedar wood and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57206,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[449,458,459,64,63,460,134],"class_list":["post-57205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-design","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57205\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
