A CHAIR, boat and ores, house birds and a bucket and spade are just some of the items featured at the City of Melville’s Sculpture Walk, which is on again in 2010 at a new location overlooking the water.
Residents will get the opportunity to see the works of 16 professional WA artists while taking a stroll along the Deep Water Point Foreshore.
This free art exhibition, which is in its seventh year, has a new home on The Esplanade at Deep Water Point in Mt Pleasant.
The City’s development officer (arts) Hannah Katarski said she expected the Sculpture Walk’s change of location to be “inspiring and uplifting”.
“The works are site-specific and (the artists) were asked to incorporate what the river means to them in their pieces.”
Ms Katarski said the aim of the Sculpture Walk was to provide a free cultural experience to the community.
Mayor Russell Aubrey said the event, which runs until April 11, was growing in popularity.
“The exhibition makes for an impressive and interesting display, set in the picturesque surrounds of the river foreshore.”
Ms Katarski said this year’s sculptures were made from a variety of materials.
“Works are made from steel, fibreglass, recycled wood, handmade felt as well as found, recycled and ephemeral objects,” she said.
“The sculptures vary in size, from a series of quite small objects through to works that are 4m tall.”
