"Six kilometres out of town, the Sculpture Symposium in The Living Desert Reserve is the most stunning of Broken Hill's art exhibits, a reserve in the eroded Barrier Ranges desert region that is the location of a group of sculptures carved from Wilcannia sandstone boulders. The twelve artists involved in their creation were part of a sculpture symposium in 1993 and were drawn from diverse cultures - two from Mexico (including an Aztec Indian), two from Syria, three from Georgia (in the Caucasus), and five Australians, including two Bathurst Islanders - and this is reflected in the variety of their works. The pieces from the Georgian artists are particularly fine: Badri Sulushia's Outback Madonna and Child; Valerian Jiiya's Cubist interpretation; and Jumber Jikiya's horses head, a tribute to the rare breed of Georgian horses slaughtered under Stalin's orders. Nastra Luna of Mexico badly injured his hands and his piece became a collective effort, depicting a soaring eagle, with the hands of the other sculptors who helped him imprinted in the rock. The Aboriginal artist Badger Bates, from Broken Hill, was inspired by the stone carvings of his ancestors, and his piece shows two rainbow serpents travelling north. "
