a commission C R E AT I N G T H E F I R ST E I G H T G R OT E S Q U E S After being awarded the title of University Sculptor in November 1976 for my carving of Associate Professor Charles Schindler, I completed my commission to carve seven more grotesques in 1977 and 1978 – of Professors Melbourne, Robinson, Michie, Castlehow and Cummings; and of two non-specific grotesques originally representing people of the South Pacific – but at my suggestion, changed to representations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
