Article on Sculpture by the sea 2017

Article about artist sculptor Harrie Fasher. Harrie Fasher had a very special reason for making eight steel horses for Sculpture by the Sea. His name was Major Alfred Macpherson. Macpherson was a highly decorated member of the 8th Australian Light Horse who fought alongside his mates in the legendary Battle of Beersheba 100 years ago. Macpherson was also Fasher's great-great-uncle, and her massive sculpture The Last Charge commemorates the bravery and determination of everyone in that victorious battle.

A 12 minute video of artist sculptor Harrie Fasher talking about her work. Harrie Fasher's monumental sculpture The Last Charge captures the raw emotion of the last charge of the Light Horse at the Battle of Beersheba on October 31, 1917. This powerful and terrifying vision of cavalry in full flight evokes the roar and chaos of battle, and the indefatigable bond between horse and rider. Forged from rusted and twisted steel rods, Fasher's horses embody the human, channelling the violence and determination that led to victory at Beershba. First exhibited in the 2017 Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi, The Last Charge is a potent and poignant memorial to the horses and cavalrymen of the 4th Light Horse Brigade. Harrie Fasher: The Last Charge. Producer: Catherine Hunter. Videographer & Editor: Bruce Inglis
