Mount Gambier woman accused of placing googly eyes on sculpture to begin negotiating with prosecution

A 20-year-old woman accused of putting googly eyes on a controversial sculpture in the South Australian city of Mount Gambier may have her case wrapped up next month.

Amelia Vanderhorst briefly appeared in the Mount Gambier Magistrates Court in person for the first time today, accused of one count of vandalism for allegedly damaging the Cast in Blue sculpture — known commonly as the "Blue Blob" — on September 13.

Police estimated the damage at up to $2,500.
