The Bio Cactus.....!

Aimee and I were Christmas shopping in the city yesterday and I couldn't resist taking this shot of the newest addition to the cultural face of Perth to see what you think of it!! This new sculpture in Forrest Place in the city centre was the winner of an international contest and was designed by James Angus, a Perth sculptor who now lives in New York (hmm! smart move maybe haha! only kidding) it's called The Bio Morph, affectionately (or not!) known as The Cactus (local opinions), the cost to the taxpayers a cool $1 million, it's meant to represent 'a living organism', the practical side of me thinks surely they could have done something a little more useful with the money, but I guess that could apply to most cultural endeavors and we have to leave something behind for future generations, although goodness knows what they'll make of this one....and just to show we haven't gone totally insane here the West, just a little further up in Forrest Place...the very normal Christmas Tree....Hope you have a fabulous week.....!
