Sculpture by the Sea submission 2009




Submission words (brief version)
I see the Sculpture by the Sea as an opportunity to create a musically sculptural inscription into the site at Tamarama Beach, through a minimal structural palette.  This site offers a space to engage with the differing effects of light, wind, and other environmental changes. The primary material of the sculpture, acrylic and glass blades are a subtle but striking intervention into the site, with the changing tonal values of each blade playing off against each other to create differing colours, textures and light effects.  The acrylic blades also heighten the environmental changes on the site, polarizing the light, manipulating the wind, and creating spatial effects beyond the tangible sculpture.
