“The spirit of this series is concerned with searching, seeking something; people are looking for something,” he says.”I chose terrorism because right now the whole world is looking for terrorists. And terrorism is a global topic that everyone can identify with.”

The departure may simply be a way of injecting something different into his prolific repertoire of self-portraits, even though they remain popular on the international circuit.

But any Yue Minjun work is sure to be colorful, ironic, and deceptive, just like Yue Minjun – the man who seems to always wear a mask of quiet seriousness. And it’s that seriousness of purpose – that stubborn single-mindedness – that has brought Yue Minjun out of the shadows in recent years.

Born in 1898, William Ricketts was an Australian sculptor and potter who developed a spiritual bond with the Aboriginal people of Central Australia. The time he spent with them, between 1949 and 1960 inspired his works in Potter’s Sanctuary (now known as William Ricketts Sanctuary).

The 92 intricate ceramic sculptures placed along the passageways seem as they are merging with the surrounding plant-life, thus expressing the strong bond Aborigines have always had with nature. Designed as a place where man’s spirit becomes one with nature, William Ricketts Sanctuary inspires us all to protect Mother Nature instead of constantly exploiting her.

William Ricketts spent most of his life in this sanctuary, located on Mount Dandenong, near Olinda, and died here, in 1993, at the age of 94.
