It’s been a few years since I had a look at Sculptures by the Sea on Cottesloe Beach. It was featured on the TV News so that reminded me. I arrived before 9.00 am and it was already busy. What’s more, the catalogue cost $10 and I only had $3 with me.

I wanted to see the work of Sharyn Egan, an indigenous artist whose sculptures were designed to resemble native Balga trees. She was holding workshops at the beach where anyone could join in and try their hand at making these waving fronds. It was a bit like “yarn bombing” and seemed to rely on donations of odd balls of wool.
Sharyn hadn’t arrived though others were trying their hand, but I was keen to see the rest of the exhibits before it got too hot. The sea looked very flat and calm and inviting too! (Lucky I had packed my bathers).
