What could maybe lie on the other side of this seven - meter - gamy gate ? Another macrocosm ? A magical fort ? A vacation spot for departed spirits ? The most splendid thing about Tony Phantastes ’ Dreamer ’s Gate is how many places you could imagine it leading .
Australian artist Tony Phantastes form on the Dreamer ’s Gate from 1993 to 1999 , and then abandoned it , and the multitude of the nearby town of Collector have been trying to displume it down for structural disintegrity .
grant to Michael John Grist ’s Out Of Ruins blog :
The gate was made by just one man , using techniques adapted from ship construction methods . The sculptured ‘ skeleton in the cupboard ’ is made from 4 mm galvanized wire tensioned in place and secured to a half - time deep concrete footing .The study is then strengthened by the use of galvanize piping as cross members . in the end , it is cover with a ‘ skin ’ of hessian , plaster , crybaby conducting wire , reo , meshing and a terminal bed of cement render . This proficiency is one that Tony Phantastes has been hone while wreak on two other sculptures located at secret residences in Ainslie and O’Connor , in the ACT .
There are weird angels , but also a sculpture of a giant man who seems to be dreaming . Grist says that some people theorise the piece of work was fuel by Phantastes ’ experience as his founder was dying of cancer .
