Bondi to Tamarama - the best Art walk eva.

Nick's first day as an Aussie was blessed with blue skies and sunshine. Both have been in short order on the eastern seaboard due to La Nina being around for a third straight year - so we headed down to Bondi and began what is probably my favourite walk eva. Bondi to Tamarama headland to see Sculpture by the Sea. Sculpture by the Sea returns to Bondi after an absence of two years. This spectacular coastal walk will host some 100 sculptures by artists from around the world. It is amusing, breathtaking, surprising and such a delight every time. 

We started from Bondi towards Icebergs and encountered "Heads It Is" by Paul Caporn.

April Pines "Tidal" needed to be admired from many angles. 

I loved Keisho Ushi's Eternity circle and we chatted on the headland as he told me how he had created his work from a base of white Japanese granite which represented the waves of the sea and the circle of life with Spanish granite - the rough and the smooth being interwoven in an eternal cycle of life. 

There was Tony Davis's Interstice -a shard honed beautifully from wood. 

This water drop heavy with the detritus it gathers in the oceans. 

A bronze horse in search of pastures.

Cherries that glowed with the world gently engraved on their skins

A giant hook which had us all amused... and hooked.

An immense exercise of installation and creativity and a delight for all. Dont miss it.
