The images awaiting visitors to the High Court of Australia this month seem somehow appropriate: a paper spiral and the long arm of the law are among the exhibits on display as part of the second Canberra National Sculpture Forum.
Included in the exhibition are works by Perth sculptor Graham Hay, who has twisted hundreds of books to produce his work, and The Long Arm of the Law, by Sydney Sculptor Susan White.

… The Long Arm of the Law is being shown for the first time in Australia after being rejected by the Art Gallery of NSW. It was rejected when it was entered under the name Fitzgerald, inspired at the time by the Fitzgerald inquiry into police corruption: 'I try and say something through my artwork, reflecting the current issues at the time it was produced,' she said.
The exhibition will be on show at the High Court and throughout Canberra until April 26.
