I feel so fortunate to live in a place that heralds the arts. I don’t take for granted that one can go for a beautiful coastal stroll whilst perusing amazing works of art.
Sculpture by the Sea returned to Bondi as the world’s largest free to the public sculpture exhibition. The 2km long sculpture park featured 100 sculptures by artists from Australia and across the world.
It must have taken an immense amount of effort to install the sculptures along the route and I couldn’t help thinking, that it also took the artists an immense amount of faith that their pieces would be looked after out in the open air.
I particularly liked Mela Cooke’s, High Tide bronze of a bather sitting with her flippers. John Petrie’s, To The Sea Of Tranquility, Clancy Warner’s ethical sculptures and Sean Henry’s human forms to name a few.
I highly recommend a note in your calendar and go when the weather is nice!
