Indeed it is. And Max asks: “The original clay sculpture was
created in the artist’s studio in Melbourne from a live [as opposed to?] model.” Goodness. Have you seen somebody walking around Melbourne who looks like this? Is it a species? And … why is the airport so reticent about naming the private donor?

The link to Martin Ollman’s photo is dead, Nigel. I suspect this is the photo you’re refering too.

Thanks fmark – a quick search on Google Images reveals an all-revealing photograph posted by one Martin Ollman – who is a braver photographer than I… But, horror of horrors, does the title suggest there is a second Perception and Reality somewhere?

Apparently its by Andrew Rogers and is entitled Perception and Reality 1.
