Sculpture by the Sea looks wonderful under the blue sky, so different from last week when I took a few shots on a rainy day. This was Sunday morning at 8am. The majority of sculptures this year are by Australian artists with a sprinkling of New Zealand and overseas artists. It felt right to begin with the sculpture 'Always Was Always Will Be' created in steel armature by self taught Whadjuk Nyoongar artist James Egan, looking out over the coastline that saw the arrival of the British..
The beautifully elegant bronze sculpture below titled appropriately 'Dignity' was created by Japanese artist Yuko Takahashi.The 'Structural Wave' at the end of the pier by WA artist Jarrod Taylor..
A little further along the beach, with perfectly timed waves undulating onto the shore, 'Tidal' created in weathered corten steel by Perth artist April Pine..
Below hanging between the tall Norfolk Island pines the ethereally delicate 'Mantle' created in copper wire by Perth artist Tania Spencer..
NSW artist Lucy Barker created the piece below titled 'Chrysalis' using salvaged electrical cables, bronze, steel and cement. Isn't it sinuously astounding :)
I'll finish today with the stunning sculpture below created in stainless steel by WA artist Tuinna Blackie. Titled The Boab'. This is the artist's first entry into Sculpture by the Sea and was inspired by the giant boab Gija Jumulu that came down from the Kimberley which coincidentally I wrote about recently HERE. Will have a few more for you tomorrow, happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe..
Very nice exhibition .... "the Mantle" by Tania Spencer is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sculptures. My favorite is "the Mantle" too.
ReplyDelete...these are so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful but I have to admit that "Mantle" really stirred something in me. It's just so graceful and flower-like. Chrysalis is amazing and mind-boggling and The Boab is beautiful. I'd love to wander among these works of art.
ReplyDeleteIt’s hard to pick a favourite. All are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful works
ReplyDeleteI love them all but especially that first one!
ReplyDeleteThe Boab is the one that really grabs me.
ReplyDeleteThey are getting better each year. I love the boab tree and the happy looking Tidal.
ReplyDeleteWonderful works of art.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to go to the beach, see and hear and smell the ocean, and see these marvellous sculptures. I love the one with the electric wires, and the one hanging between the trees, and the baob, well, actually I like them all and I love the idea of public art gallery on the beach.... WOW@#$%^&*!!!!
ReplyDeleteDearest Grace,
ReplyDeleteFirst Prize goes to MANTLE!

I find wiring in sculpter interesting. My next page for the sketch book project in Brooklyn New York. I plan to do with wires.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
The "Boab" is fabulous, but the delicate "Mantle" is stunning and delicate hanging there between the trees.
