On Thursday I went for a work lunch at the Mc Clelland Sculpture Park and Gallery in Langwarrin. It's a little gem hidden away behind a main road and consists of an outdoor sculpture park, art gallery and cafe. Walking around the grounds was a range of sculpture by artists. Using mediums such as steel, rock, tin, alluminium and music and in a range of styles like life like sculpture and abstract works. 

Inside the gallery was a photographic exhibition by Shaun Gladwell. Called 'Afganistan' his art focusses on ordinary soldiers in harsh landscapes. He uses still imagery and video and focuses on 'behind the point of view' of a soldier. He was comissioned by the Australian War Memorial to document the efforts in Afganistan.
