Claude the Crow, Performing Arts Collection, the Arts Centre. Gift of Richard Bence, 1997Did you know that before his work was exhibited by the NGV or by Charles Saatchi in the 'Sensation' show, Ron Mueck was the voice of Shirl's Neighbourhood's Claude the Crow?
Mueck not only provided Claude's voice (and personality) but modelled all the puppets including Greenfinger the Garden Gnome whose face is based on producer Richard Bence who visited the Research Service this week. Greenfinger's voice was provided by Julian's step-father Christie Cooney who was also a member of the folk band, The Cobbers. Talk about seven degrees of separation!

Last week, I think it was, I came in half way through an iterview on 774 breakfast with Red who was talking to someone about this very topic. I think that someone may have been Richard Bence. And Julian's step-dad, the voice of Greenfinger!!!
