Sculptures by the Sea 2019

by Xerraire · 3/17/2019

I realized on the plane over, that Sculptures by the Sea, an event we’ve been going to for the last few years had already started. I sure hoped I would lose the jet lag soon enough to be able to see it. It’s fun to go each year and there had been some talk on the news that this might be its last year due to lack of funding.

It took awhile to get rested up, but we managed to go twice. It’s not the first time we’ve gone twice, honestly it takes a while to see all the entries.

Here are a few sculptures we were able to see…

Rolling the Earth — This first one was a hit with all the children. Even with all the signs that asked politely that no one touch, it seemed few parents were capable of making their children obey this rule.
It was called “Rolling the Earth” by Tae-Geun Yang,

Shifting Horizons — John helps me show Shifting Horizons by April Pine

Sky's the Limit — Evi Savvaidi’s Sky is the Limit

Kim Bongsoo’sThoughts of Pinocchio This had to be the most popular sculpture at the beach. I like the boy looking up at the nose with people sitting on it.

Pinocchio's thoughts — Some people wondered what could Pinocchio’s thoughts be? Who is sitting on his nose?
Some thought they could be politicians. Looking close, I couldn’t recognize anyone.

Korean artist duplicity of man — The guy on the right, I thought resembled Danny Kaye, who once played Gepetto in the 1976 movie, But as it turns out, I read that the South Korean artist has had a series of sculptures with the duplicity of man as her theme.

Not a favorite? — This was not a favorite of Johns, they had surrounded it with banksia flowers on the sand. I now wonder if it wasn’t the favorite of others, as I found no listing for the title and artist. It was fun to photograph at least, with the sunset coming through.

sun going down — As the sun goes down, and not knowing we’d be coming back, I had to quickly get some more sculptured photographed.

Hamish McMillan, Internment, — Have our computers imprisoned us? Not sure what the artist was say. It’s Hamish McMillan’s Internment. We liked that the computer said, “Nice work Jeff”

Janine McAullay Bott, Vintage I Bush Truck, — As we made our way out, we couldn’t help but notice Janine McAullay Bott’s Vintage I Bush Truck

Janine McAullay Bott, Vintage I Bush Truck, — John liked the sign that was posted in front. (Not part of the exhibit, just a statement of Aussie truth.)
