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.

2 1/2 minute video of artist, designer, sculptor Tord Boontje
London designer Tord Boontje explains how Midsummer light, the decorative paper lampshade he designed in 2004 for Artecnica, challenged the dominance of Minimalist design.
Boontje's Midsummer light, which he designed for Los Angeles design company Artecnica in 2004, consists of two sheets of Tyvek - a tear-proof synthetic paper material - stamped with a delicate floral pattern.
The two sheets are draped around a simple plastic cone to create a perforated lampshade that casts a soft, dappled light.
"Midsummer Light is directly inspired by lying under a tree and seeing the sunlight going through the leaves," Boontje says in the movie, which Dezeen filmed at his studio in London.
Boontje is one of a number of designers who has led a move away from Minimal design to return to more decorative themes over the last 20 years.
He reveals that his interest in decoration started when his daughter was born in 2000.
"I had a very strong desire to make my own home like a nest, like a very loving environment," he explains. "I wanted to make the home softer, warmer and more humane."
