The first time I saw this intricate lacework sculpture it was sitting on
Cottesloe Beach as part of the
2010 Sculptures by the Sea. It looked fabulous then with the sun glinting off it creating lacy shadows on the white sand. It now resides in a more 'lofty' position making silvery reflections in the water feature in front of the
Art Gallery. As a matter of interest the beaches at Cottesloe were closed today, not for the usual shark alert reasons, but because the normally pristine white beaches were
swamped in seaweed (check it out!), that's going to be a job and a half to clean up unless mother nature lends a helping hand! Hope you have a lovely weekend, take care and y'know...stay safe.
I think it's more suited in front of the gallery. Interesting sculpture!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty beach ball.
ReplyDeleteOi, 1 to 2.5 meter deep seaweed on the beach?? Squish, squish.
I thought only Bondi area had Sculpture by the Sea. Glad to learn you have such a thing too. It is a wonderful event.
Great to see it has found a new home.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sculpture - it's somehow sweet and elegant at the same time:) I can't believe the seaweed...a job and a half for sure! (I love 'job and a half', need to find a way to work it into my conversation today:) Hope your weekends off to a swimming start!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sculpture indeed, Grace! I love it! I think beaches everywhere are having seaweed problems these days!! I'm glad this sculpture has a better, safer home now!! I hope you have a lovely, fun weekend!!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of a big Christmas ornament or something. Neat sculpture and very eye-catching for sure!
ReplyDeletePS: I also miss the CDP page. I know some people are on FB, but it's not private enough for me. I guess it's probably not coming back. :(
It's a great piece and looks wonderful reflected in the water!
ReplyDeleteI love this sculpture! Such pretty lacy features. I don't think I've ever seen such a seaweed mess. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThat's a strange ball but beautiful.

Looks as though you have some delightful bright sunlight! The sculpture is a fascinating piece of art! Love the shadows in the first photo!
ReplyDeleteSeaweed at the beach? Outrageous. Someone should do something.
ReplyDeleteIt looks especially pretty reflected in the water.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good weekend.
Look at all that seaweed! That's what many of our beaches looked like for a spell this summer... and boy, does it start to stink after a very short while!
ReplyDeleteI love the sculpture. I do think its placement in the water garden is more interesting, visually.
Looks out of this world !
ReplyDeleteA wonderful piece, and I agree, the gallery is a better spot for it.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the sparkly pretty art piece. That's really cool.

An amazing art piece shimmering in the rays of the sun and the waters reflection. Very complex and intricate.
ReplyDeleteBravo au sculpteur! L'effet du jeu de lumière est saisissant.
ReplyDeleteImpressive sculpture... pity about Cottesloe.
ReplyDeleteI like the ART and I like the SUNshine!:)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
Wonderful sculptures. I agree quite intricate designs too.
ReplyDeletebeautiful bright metal sculpture!
ReplyDeleteThe sculpture fits the scene really well. It looks organic, something that could float out of the sea.
ReplyDeleteCool sculpture. Curious it was moved to become part of a water feature. Which did you like better?
ReplyDeleteMy cat has something similar hanging from his collar, just smaller, much smaller
ReplyDeleteLove that ball!
