Moon-dae Ring Sculpture

Public Art : Moon-dae Ring sculpture
Sculptor : © Ron Sims
Description : The Moon-dae Ring is an interactive and
acoustic sculpture carved from Karri, jarrah and Wandoo timbers. You press the various
acrylic panels which are inlaid into the wood and suddenly you are surrounded with the sounds of the bush
(supposedly reflecting those found in Mundaring). You can even mix and match the sounds by pressing several
panels at the same time. The sculpture actually comes in two parts. The second part takes the form of a
stylized boat and is where the sounds project from. The words 'La Vérité' (the truth) and Le Rêve (the dream)
are carved into the curved pieces.
Date Unveiled : The Moondae Ring sculpture was
unveiled on the 18th of February, 1992.
Location : Mundaring Community Sculpture Park,
Mundaring, Western Australia
Trivia : The wood for the sculpture was provided by
the local hardware store.
