he was a Rasputin— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) May 3, 2020
kind of character
the man from Carrick
in his long, sweeping black gown
and he forged butterflies#tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo #5lines pic.twitter.com/kR83qAEwfA
NOTE: I lived in the north of Tasmania for just over a couple of years.
Often, I travelled the byways seeking unusual places...and there were plenty in the north...
Today the Tasmanian Copper and Metal Art Gallery is at Carrick.
(It used to be known as the Tasmanian Copper Gallery).
I bought this butterfly when the original owner, Mirek Marik, (my Rasputin character), was still there...
There is a story behind the Marik family -
Saturday , April 5th 1978 is a date the Marik family will never forget.
The 120 year old "Archers Folly" building in Carrick that was used as a studio, workshop and gallery for unique styles of flame painting on copper was destroyed in a tragic fire.
Today, the Mariks have constructed a studio next to the gutted building.
