Here we go again, Sculpture by the Sea 2018. It's that time of year where hopefully I can warm up the cockles of northern hemisphere reader's hearts with a lot wee bit of sunshine, sea and art! I hope you enjoy seeing the fabulous, often quirky, sculptures on Cottesloe Beach as much as I do showing them. WA artist Tanya Spencer, working with drills and hand bending jigs instead of needles, and wire
instead of yarn, created this incroyable piece 'Inspired by Rosie'. You can see more of her work here. Viewing the azure blue of the Indian Ocean through the intricate lacework at 6.30am was a wonderful experience.
Below when we arrived at Cottesloe Beach all was calm and serene, just a few early birds...
By the time we left an hour and a bit later.. it wasn't :) On occasions like this early rises are so worth it! More tomorrow, Happy Tuesday, Take care and stay safe...
Inspired By Rosie is beautifully done!

ReplyDeleteThat must have taken a long time to bend all that wire! I appreciate the sunny sea views from still snow covered Alberta, Canada!!
ReplyDeleteLove that lacy Mandala art work! And what a gorgeous beach!!!
ReplyDeleteSo much blue...I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt may be 35°C and sunny in Perth, but that wonderful looking wire sculpture look just like a snowflake, which reminds me, it is now snowing outside and will continue until tomorrow. Will have to do some shoveling.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful piece and you are so right, seeing the beautiful blue ocean behind it is perfect. I always enjoy seeing the artwork at this exhibit.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. That’s a lot of people for early morning!
ReplyDeleteAmazingly intricate and inspirational. I love your ocean waters.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the time of year to visit Perth so that you could see this exhibit! It is certainly worth getting up early, Grace!
ReplyDeleteInspired by Rosie is an awesome piece. Her work is absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGreat start. Always fun to see the sculptures.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I remember this event, it's one of my favorites. Please do share bunches of it!
ReplyDeleteWe're in for a treat if "Inspired by Rosie" is any indication. The Indian Ocean sure is beautiful at any hour.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work beautifully caught, Grace!
ReplyDeleteCan´t wait to see more, early bird! :-)
Amazing work. Beautiful pics.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sculpture Grace. I wouldn't be an early bird like you so my pictures would be full of people poking through the various sculptures, lol.
