16/2016 - Scupltures by the Sea - Dust and The Book Cave

Spotted through the trees from above you don't quite get a proper sense of the size of 'Dust' by WA Artist Norton Flavel. Known for his over-sized sculptures (who could forget the giant goon bag a couple of years back??), this years piece looks a whole lot more impressive close up. As with his piece 'Lucky Country' from last year I was impressed with the size of the main body of the piece being held up by a relatively slim base. Very clever.
 
 
Those of you who follow Mum's blog have already seen this piece. Interesting enough to coax her down to the sand despite her sore knee and strict physio instructions, the Book Cave by Juliet Lea (another WA artist!) was made up of a variety of great (and not so great) titles - although I suspect I've read less of them than Mum has. I loved the snap below with a little face poking out of the cave. There were a few interactive pieces this year which is always fun, especially for the kids (or the young at heart!).
