Make up this inspiring 50-minute documentary.
It intimately covers the challenges involved in making a life-size statue of the Tibetan Deity, 'Green Tara' This very beautiful sculpture was requested by Buddhist Monks and was made in dedication without fee by multi-disciplined artist Barbara McLean.
This unique documentary falls softly on you. It shows a world far from mainstream and is not to be missed.
Gently informing and capturing seldom seen footage of the Monks attending to the complexities and rituals involved in the consecration of the statue, it gives an insight into eastern tradition.
Perhaps best known for sculpting the 38 Bronze portraits of Australian Tennis Champions housed at the Rod Laver Arena, McLean is an internationally recognized Artist.
Her interest in eastern philosophy is also portrayed in her garment inclusion at the exhibition ' 200 Years of Fashion’ currently showing at Federation Square
