This one was my favourite. It was inspired by The Beatles' She Came in Through the Bathroom Window. If you look closely you can see the Fab Four in the background.

Flying Fish.

The killer whale wasn't very well behaved and kept flying into the crowd.



Sculpture by the Sea (21)

Eye Sea You, Tim and Shayn Amber Wetherell. Explores people's differing perceptions of reality with special reference to technology and the changes it brings. Perspex, plaster of paris.

This is my last Sculpture by the Sea post for this year. Hope you enjoyed them.

Gilded Cage, Alex Kosmas. The tree laid out on the board room table like an agenda item is an item of pathos, a state reinforced by the cage, which surrounds and unites the world of business with the world of nature. Gold leaf, stainless stell, brass and cast bronze.

Sky Watch Friday - Sculpture by the Sea (19)

More grey sky, this time seen through Barbara Licha's Chaos and Order, which describes the contemporary individual surrounded by the magnitude of everyday emotions. Glavanised wire, metal frame.

Sculpture by the Sea (18)

Regenerate, Christine Dyer. Each remnant of rope has history with it being gathered up, sorted, reconstructed. It lives on in another form. It takes a new life. Rope, fishing line.

Sculpture by the Sea (17)

Plant People, Jennifer Orchard. My sculptures pay tribute to the glorious variety and adaptability of all life on the planet. Ceramic, metal, glazes.

Sculpture by the Sea (16)

Once Was Blue, Stephen Short. Will all coral look like this in 50 years time? PVC pipes, pop rivets, tactite adhesive.

Sculpture by the Sea (15)

Fractal Column, Alan Rose. Our feeling for beauty is inspired by the harmonious arrangement of order and disorder as occuring in nature. Rigid plastic sheet.

Sculpture by the Sea (14)

The Eight, Stephen King. Inspired by the time his three daughters were rowing. It describes the moment when the boat is held aloft just before the strok-side and bow-side rowers part to shoulder the boat.

I interpreted this one quite differently before I read the catalogue. To me they were women bearing the weight of the world on their shoulders.
