Here's Part 2 of my Sculptures by the Sea trips! More sculptures featured of course!
First up - "Cycles" by Benjamin Storch from Victoria. This sculpture formed a circular pattern - and I used it to frame one of the family picnics I spotted during my trip there.
Not too far from "Cycles" - another favourite sculpture of mine - used to frame other sculptures. From here, I spotted some of the other sculptures. This one here is known as "Headrest" by Michael Le Grand from ACT. It DOES look like some kind of headrest when I zoom out!
Beetles in love? Well this installation is called "Insectopia" - and its by Maria Hildrick. This one was really cute. The artist even included a love heart somewhere amongst the beetles!
"Backyards" by Martin Rowney from ACT. This consisted of a number of poles, with different textures towards the top. Some of the materials included sago seeds (well the red seeds looked like sago seeds to me!), Lego bricks, toy soldiers, stones and so on. Really good use of texture here!
"Migration" by Alex Goad from Victoria. This looked like a giant music note, to be honest!
Looking through the reflective sculpture - "Passage Secret" by Sylvia Tuccimei from Italy.
"French Knitting" by Mia Hamilton from New Zealand. This one was pretty interesting - it featured an intricately weaved green cord wrapped around tree branches in a strategic manner.
"The Green Dream" by Kathy Allam - transparent sculptures suspended on tree branches.
"Primordial" by Marcus Tatton from Tasmania. This installation featured three spirals with a brick-like texture.
"Family" by Ron Gomboc. This sculpture looked like some kind of makeshift couple bending towards each other. Really pretty against the clear skies!!
The orange and black sculpture is known as "Bob Reclining" by Stephen Tepper from Western Australia. Definitely an excellent candidate for framing pics!
"Adam and Eve" by Peter Lundberg. Really interesting installation - and yes - good for framing too!
One of the sculptures I used to frame other sculptures! And when I first came here - my friend photobombed me when I was trying to take the spiral shape of the sculpture. Anyway - during my second visit - I came alone, so no photobombs! This sculpture is known as "Signature" by Johannes Pannekoek. It DOES look like a signature indeed!
Giant goon sack on the beach? This sculpture is called "Bulk Carrier" by Western Australian sculptor Norton Flavel. Well - bulk carrying of goon I guess?! This one was really distinct.
"Offshore trading" of sand? Perhaps! This installation is made of giant bags of sand lined neatly on a wall - and is conceptualised by Flossie Peitsch of New South Wales.
"Organism" by Seung-Hwan Kim. This looked like a wavy pencil shaving to me, but was pretty intriguing too.
Along the jetty - if you look closely enough, you'll see pairs of feet in different positions. This was part of the "Once Removed" installation by Robert Barnstone.
Cloudmaker? Maybe not. Although the clouds seemed to be strategically positioned that day. This sculpture is known as "Like a Flower Swaying in the Wind", and its by Japanese sculptor Hiroyuki Kita. This sculpture actually features revolving bendy poles turning round and round. In here - the poles are "frozen" thanks to the fast shutter speed of the camera.
Spot the doggies! This installation is known as "Fetch" by the Winged Collective from Victoria.
"Windsong" by Barclay Bailey. This consisted of many upturned "bells" with strings attached. When the wind blew, the strings vibrated and we could hear pretty interesting "tunes"! At one point I managed to capture a pic of a cloud that appeared to rise out of the "bell" - hence the term "strategic cloud formation"! This installation was arranged neatly by the sea.
"Red Centre" by Bari Billingsley. This giant installation was made of many red and yellow flags. And if you look from afar - it DOES have a red centre!
Rhino on the loose? Well maybe not. This sculpture is known as "Gift of the Rhinoceros" by Mikaela Castledine of Western Australia.
"Rescheduling Permanence" by Helen Seiver, hailing from Western Australia. This beautiful house-shaped sculpture was made entirely of plastic bags, tied strategically to form lovely patterns! So colourful and intricate! Everyone was intrigued by this work of art, I swear.
"Der Traum (The Dream)" by German sculptor Wolfgang Friz. This cute little thinking cloud lights up at night, and is tied between 2 Norfolk pines. I love this one very much...it's just so adorable!!
"Surf in Fantasia" by Tata Akiho from Japan. This installation featured three shell-shaped sculptures that had regular red, yellow and blue patterns. Pretty intriguing!
"The Figure in the Landscape" by John Petrie from New South Wales. This interesting stacked sculpture was situated on the jetty, and I spotted it when walking towards the end...
Right at the end of the jetty - the one and only "There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip" by Ken Unsworth AM from New South Wales. This sculpture was one of my favourites, and it featured a skeleton riding a bike upwards, with a stone on its back. It reminds me of "Stairway to Heaven" for some reason - and I can't figure out why. Anyway - when I was taking pics of this sculpture, some random fisherman decided to pose under it...and that was how I got one of the pics below!
Last but not least - a girly sculpture. "Solar Jayne" by Geoffrey Drake-Brockman from Western Australia. Press a button and the ballerina twirls around, perfectly poised. The head and body were synchronised such that it appeared as if she was doing perfect turns. This was one of my favourites as well.
Ending off with a couple of pics of the sunset! I watched the sunset the first time I was there at the event! It was quite a pretty one as the cloud formation was absolutely gorgeous.
Hope you've enjoyed viewing these sculptures - I certainly did! Hope to go for more of such art exhibitions in the near future!
