Television Within, Television Without (Sculpture By The Sea 12)

Dawn at Marks Park, midway between Tamarama and Bondi. My first "Skywatch Friday" entry.

Mark Wotherspoon, the creator of Television within, television without says: "This work is about the role television is playing in our daily lives, and in particular its effects on children. A child gazing away from the television - towards the imagination."

It is made from recycled television glass and stainless steel.
