Abstract
Public art, especially those works in sculptural form in Western Australia has been bereft of cultural respect, subject to laziness and neglect according to artist Ratimir (Ron) Gomboc. This interview conducted in 2002 by Alexander Hayes as a component of completion of a Bachelor of Arts (Art) Honours, details some of Gomboc's key contributions to public art in Western Australia and more broadly across the greater Australian arts community.
