Sculpture by the Sea I.....


OMG is exactly how I felt yesterday after hours of shooting on Cottesloe Beach. The eighth annual Sculpture by the sea started on the 1st March and there's some pretty amazing and incredibly bizarre entries this year. The one above is described as a 'monolithic statement,and in its dimensionality and  materials transcends the mundanity of the humble letter and reaches ironically for a high form of expression'.... Not sure about all that, I just liked it!!
 This one is rather saucily named 'screwing by the sea'..... 'nuff said methinks.....!!
When I was editing the pictures last night I called this one 'the trumpet' to identify it, but it's actually called 'thought process' an abstract representation of the evolution of a concept, righty ho!! As you can imagine there were a lot of cameras clicking on the beach today, couldn't resist snapping this chap trying to get his own perspective on 'the trumpet'!!
There's heaps more to show you over the next few days. I'll show you the winning sculpture tomorrow, it surprised me, not that I don't appreciate the idea, it's just that there were so many amazing 'objets de art' to choose from that I wonder sometimes just how they make their selection.....!! The weekend seems to come around faster all the time, I hope you have a good one.....
