Statue of Pietro Porcelli

PHOTOADAY- I love this statue, every time I see it I wonder weither Pietro ever finish his work of art depicted.
Description of the Pietro Porcelli statue : A life size bronze sculptor of well known Fremantle sculptor Pietro Porcelli. The sculpture depicts the artist at work, shaping his clay bust long after the subject matter has left (thus the empty stool). The "artist works alone" theme seems to add a new dimension to the piece, given that Pieto died a virtual recluse. The empty chair also allows the public to enter the world of the artist and model, to sit and become part of the scene for a brief moment.
