This is a stunning sculpture Sally and much enhanced by the wonderful golden shimmer in the background.
I really liked Jane Gillings’ Dream House in a previous Sculpture By The Sea.
Read more about her here (official site) and on her own blog.
Along the route of the Sculpture walk, several of the benches are decorated with this webbing effect.
They are like the folding aluminium picnic chairs which used to be popular when I was younger.
Lucy Barker says on her website:
“For this work I have revived 5 existing benches around the Bondi – Tamarama walk by adorning them with colourful, vintage polypropylene chair webbing, a la beach chairs and folding aluminium chairs of lesiure. They become a reminder to stop, slow down and ponder how things have changed, and what may have stayed the same.”
The Yearning by Margarita Sampson won the The Andrea Stretton Memorial Invitation to Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in March 2012.These yellow sea slugs are made from recycled banners.
….and here’s today’s. A bleak break from the sun-shiny Sculptures By The Sea to show you it isn’t always blue skies and sunshine in Sydney.
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is a non-profit, marine conservation organisation that uses direct action tactics to protect sealife. Most of the group’s recent activities take place in international waters with a strong focus on public relations to spread their message via the media. Sea Shepherd currently operates Neptunes Navy, which includes the vessels MY Steve Irwin, the Bob Barker and the MV Brigitte Bardot. The Bob Barker is seen here, during the recent open day at Circular Quay. In February 2010, while actively protesting against whaling, it collided with the Japanese whaling vessel Yushin Maru No. 3, tearing a gash in the hull.
