John Davis (16 September 1936 – 17 October 1999) was an Australian sculptor and pioneer of Environmental art.
Born in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, he studied at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Caulfield institute of technology and Melbourne Teachers College before becoming a lecturer at Prahran College of Advanced Education.
An Australian exponent of Arte povera, he famously developed a new mode of Site-specific art at the Mildura Sculpture Triennial in the early 1970s. His most influential work, which was entitled Tree Piece, was made by encasing the trunks of several growing trees on the banks of the Murray River with, alternately, papier mache, mud, latex, coiled string, plastic cling wrap, and twigs bound together. The impermanent work was then allowed to weather and rot away. It was a breakthrough which lead many sculptors to reconsider the fate of outdoor works, and whether the fabrication of art might in some way adversely impact on the environment.
If I could read you like a book
If I could read your second look
If I could be the one you love
The one you're thinking of
I wouldn't need these eyes
I wouldn't need to see
I wouldn't need to hear your voice
Say you love me
If I could stay here for a while
If I could hang on to your smile
If I could turn your loving ways
Upon my lonely days
I wouldn't need these eyes
I wouldn't need to see
I wouldn't need to hear your voice
Say you love me
Say you love me
I tried so hard to find
The reason you came my way
And now I can't believe my eyes
Are you here to stay?
If all the world came falling down
And lay in pieces on the ground
With only darkness from above
If I could touch your love
I wouldn't need these eyes
I wouldn't need to see
I wouldn't need to hear your voice
Say you love me, say you love me
I wouldn't need these eyes
I wouldn't need to see
I wouldn't need to hear your voice
