In 2004, just over 10 years since my original investigation into this
story, it’s interesting to note the changes. The
movie has not yet been made although it is still in the pipeline.
A significant amount of money ($100,000) was offered for a half hour
documentary about many aspects of the story - both historical and
contemporary - but the person applying for the money wanted to do
an hour.
So no documentary has yet been made. A website has been developed
and over the past 10 years the links have been growing. Other artists
have done artworks and there have been several exhibitions on the subject. The most
meaningful thing for me is the timing of an interested
gallery owner and a bronze casting specialist more interested in the
work than the money. For the past 6 months we have been working together
to make a rubber mould, cast into wax, invest and cast into bronze
the life size running figure made in 1993. This is my way of immortalising the Nullarbor Nymph. The
story will continue to be told in a multitude of ways, with a multitude
of different interpretations, ensuring the meaning and value of the
narrative mutates to suit the needs of the time.
