Ivan Lovatt wirenetting cockatoos sculptures
YOU’RE TERRIBLE MURIEL!
by Ivan Lovatt
Ivan Lovatt is a regular at SWELL and his pieces are easily recognisable. They are made of wire netting and really are works of art. Every year I marvel at his skill and this year was no exception. His giant Galah, complete with timber perch, is so iconically Australian. As is the reference to that wonderful Toni Collette movie – Muriel’s Wedding. The sculpture was made to commemorate his own little bird ‘Muriel’ who bought much joy to his family.

Flaming galah!
"Galah" is also derogatory Australian slang, synonymous with 'fool' or 'idiot', this is because the Galah looks a bit foolish on land, an unfair simplification. Because of the bird's distinctive bright pink, it is also used for gaudy dress. The word comes from the bird of the same name, because of its antics and the noise it makes; often intensified as flamin' galah!.
Flaming Galah is Australian rock band Fraternity's second and final studio album, released in 1972.
A famous user of the slang "galah" is Alf Stewart from Home and Away who is often heard saying "Flaming galah!" when he is riled by somebody.
