Sculpture by the Sea 2019.. V et fini..

A little easier this time to get Aimee interacting with art.. above with the early morning light reflections bouncing off the multi-faceted stainless steel of  'Counterpoints' by WA artist Penelope Forlano. The artist's statement 'Counterpoints echoes ancient water droplet and flaked stone spearhead forms. It evokes the eye and the framed view, connecting here with there. The fleeting reflections and material longevity reinforce the temporal and formal counterpoints'.  I was taking a quick shot when I heard a voice behind 'what a lovely shot' click, click .. you can see by the shadows there was a group behind all taking pics, hilarious.. Aimee didn't think so 😉 

Below, created in corten steel 'Celest' by NSW sculptor David Ball. 

I really like this one although on reading the artist's statement 'Celeste is a stargate. It's elevated form lures the viewer to gaze at the sky in a different way, through the tension and contrast of the frail architecture that surrounds them' I wish I had taken the shot from another angle, perhaps looking through the centre to the sky.. one for the return evening visit.. 

 

'Draw Houses Make Houses'  below created in mild steel by Chinese artist Hu Quanchun is an intricate and clever piece of construction. The artist's statement 'Originally an intervention of a proposed demolition site in Hunan, this work aims to preserve the memory of the current shanty town through the eyes of the local primary school students. The students drew these houses and the local college students helped to produce the sculpture'. Pretty amazing right!

There were so many I missed but we will go back next weekend before the exhibtion ends to take some evening shots.. hope you have enjoyed the few I've shown here. happy weekend, take care and stay safe..
