STUDENT'S ART PROJECT

People who thought they saw a Dalek in Civic over the past day or two may be relieved to know that there really was one.

Not the Dr Who variety but a homemade variation with a man inside.

Mr Craig Cormick, 18, of Griffith, built the two-metre device as a project for the art unit of his professional writing course at the Canberra College of Advanced Education.

The Dalek took 13 weeks to build and is made from $70 worth of glass fibre, Masonite, wire mesh, particle board and sheet metal.

Stones thrown

People who saw the Dalek in Civic displayed a variety of emotions. Some were amused, most were startled and a couple of children decided the best thing to do was to throw stones at it.

The Dalek is on wheels, and is propelled by Mr Cormick who climbs in through a door in the side. Once inside Mr Cormick operates battery-powered flashing lights and walks around startling people.

Now that the Dalek has been sub mitted for evaluation as an example of sculpture for the art unit, Mr Cormick wonders what to do with it. He hopes to be able to display it in processions and at other festive occasions and is open to suggestions.
