Visiting Sculpture By the Sea at Bondi NSW

This week my husband and I had a great day out visiting Tamarama and Bondi Beaches to see this year's Sculpture by the Sea

The weather was fine with a nice sea breeze keeping it cool for the walk from one beach to the other along the walkway that follows the 2 km coastline.

 I particularly liked the sculpture by people who also work in clay like this one by Naidee Changmoh who first sculpts his life size figures in clay and then has them cast in bronze.  Naidee was a demonstrator at the Clay conference at Gulgong last year.

 The winning entry was this metal piece of a deconstructed circle which represents the fragmented political blocks of our world which prevents the solving of problems such as global warming and poverty  .

 There is also a pavilion setup with the marquettes of those who put forward their work for inclusion. I found these ceramic ones of particular interest of course.

 These spheres (top and bottom)  are by Western Australian ceramic artist, Andrea Vinkovic

 They are marquette's for her main installation seen in place here:

I've been following her blog for sometime now... have a look, it documents her amazing process.

In the mean time I am working on getting enough work together to fire up my kiln again...

I wasn't too happy with my last wheel thrown sphere - it  was too flat on top.. after a bit of research on Facebook and YouTube I brought out my heat gun and am happier with the results...

thanks for reading my blog... and all your comments
