Cygna.. A modernist interpretation..

 

There's a new sculpture in town! On the corner of Hay and Pier Street the 6 metre high curves and dips of  'Cygna' created by artist Jon Tarry. When people passing were asked what they thought the sculpture might represent the replies varied from 'a wave' to 'a slippery dip' and everything in-between, no one guessed the artist's modernist interpretation of a black swan and the Swan River, but the artist is alright with that, in his words 'there's no wrong answer, there's no right answer. It really is there to prompt discussion.' I say bravo Mr Tarry, it certainly is doing that. Personally I love curves and I love blue and I'm not baffled by art that makes me think, so it's a big thumbs up from moi 💙 As the aforementioned river is close I wonder if the artist had called it 'Swan River' there would have been less bafflement :) certainly less discussion! Happy Friday, take care and stay safe.. P.s. baffled.. love that word, definitely going to use it more  :)
