Alex Seton | “Blood, sweat and tears” AWM commemorative sculpture

More than two years in the making, Sydney artist Alex Seton has finally completed a new contemporary sculptural commission for the Australian War Memorial’s Sculpture Garden that will be unveiled in a public dedication ceremony on the Memorial lawns in Canberra at 9.30am on 22 February. Titled For Every Drop Shed in Anguish, the commemorative sculpture is a far cry from the traditional heroic war statue.
