Just back from Cottesloe. It was beautiful at the beach, but I'm not really sure if I enjoyed Sculpture by the Sea as much as I have in previous years. Of course there's no pleasing everyone, art is so subjective. Having said that there was still some interesting work and a few pieces caught my eye. Like...

Level Best. Amy Podmore. USA. The schoolchildren in the background are waiting for their swimming lessons to begin...beats a swimming pool any day!

Sea Enemy. Denise Pepper. WA.

Garbage bags and colanders. Kitschy!

Desert Ships. Neil Jones. WA.

Blue Shift. Darius Kowal. WA.

Dance Me to the Edge of Time. BAM. NSW.

Sand shoes!

Torso. Richie Kuaupt and Geoffrey Drake-Brockman. WA.

Fortis Ovum. Peter Graham and Cindy Blackeslee. WA and USA.

And lastly, my favourite. Probably because it's just so huge (and rusty)

I told you it was big! And yes that's me!

Coast Guard. Greg James. WA

So, what did you think? Like or not? Thanks for looking. S.B.T.S. is on until March 22 if you live in Perth and it's free! It is also held at Bondi beach and at Aarhus in Denmark too.

p.s. we did pop in to a couple of op-shops on the way home. I'll show you what we found tomorrow.

Today we are off to beautiful Cottesloe Beach to have a look at the annual Sculpture By the Sea exhibition. We might even get fish and chips for lunch...You can find out more about the exhibition here http://sculpturebythesea.com/cottesloe/index.html
These photos are from their website. I'll show you mine this afternoon...

Lumphead. Fredrik Raddum.

Breaking Wave. Jean-Marc Rivalland.

The Sky is Falling. Hannah Kidd.

And a beachy tea towel for today

"Do you come from a land down under?

Where women glow and men plunder?"

"I come from a land down under where beer does flow and men chunder"

Land Down Under. Men at Work. 1981.

I've never liked that song and I don't really like this tea towel very much either...
