gilded cage (Sculpture By The Sea 2009)
Last year my favourite Sculpture By The Sea piece was this one, by Alex Kosmas, and I showed it on my birthday (today!). So having begun that "tradition" last year, here we are this year. (He was born the same year I was).
It was located in this same spot.
Kormas again occupies this gorgeous site on a ledge overlooking the ocean.
This is entitled "gilded cage" and is made from gold leaf, stainless steel, brass and cast bronze. It's 80cm x 90cm x 170cm.
The artist says: "The tree laid out on the board table like an agenda item is an item of pathos, a state reinforced by the cage, which surrounds and unites the world of business with the world of nature."

ReplyDeleteI like the colour of the cage and the colour of the sandstone. They go well together.

ReplyDeleteThis piece is interesting and a bit frightening. Brings to mind the huge, quite beautiful, grand houses around here.
