Sculptures by the Sea

Every year Cottesloe Beach hosts Sculptures by the Sea. We thought we’d pop down real quick and check them out. But we were surprised to find there were 71 amazing sculptures! They were everywhere! We kind of raced through to see them all. You can watch a compilation video or scroll through the highlight photos. #Perthectlife

“The winner of the Kids Choice Prize was West Australian Artist Deanne Neilson with the piece ‘Do You Realise??’. Made up of 50,000 recycled bottle lids, this six-meter-tall sculpture is inspired by the works of Japanese artist, Hokusai, and demonstrates Neilson’s commitment to sustainability and environmental awareness.” 

Made with the bottom portion of hundreds of soda bottles.

This was called "Captured Dream." 

This resembled reed grass or a bush and was made of lots of old chair parts.

I'm going to make one of these for my yard in Utah.

Those were all small speaker parts and were actually playing different voices on each one.

This year’s winner of the EY People’s Choice Prize was Bruno Catalano’s “Benoit,” which portrays a man with the middle of his body missing, walking towards an unknown destination, leaving behind his past and his identity.
