This sculpture named "Seahorse" was made by Alex Figgis and is part of this year's annual Sculpture for Clyde sculpture competition, which opened today for public exhibition. It is made of welded scrap metal waste. More smaller sculptures were inside a large marquee (PiP). .

We have recently had a local sculpture competition. This entry seemed to particulrly suit the locale. Happy Bench Monday and have a good week, everyone.

Perth's "Elizabeth Quay" development, opened in 2016, is a mix of an artificial inlet, artworks (see separate posting on the "SPANDA" sculpture at right) and commercial developments of various kinds. Although it seems the development caused local controversy at the time, I must say I found the area very pleasant.

At China's famous "Birdsnest" building (the formal title is the "National Stadium"), built for the indoor athletics at the 2008 Olympics. HFF and have a great weekend, everyone. With this connection, and with that sculpture, this has to be the musical link. Explored.

I wondered about the significance of this bronze of a happy turtle outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Looking up the details and significance, Wikipedia tells us that "A dragon turtle (龙龟, Lóngguī) is a legendary Chinese creature that combines two of the four celestial animals of Chinese mythology: the body of a turtle with a dragon is promoted as a positive ornament in Feng Shui, symbolizing courage, determination, fertility, longevity, power, success, and support." That sounds rather like another way of saying HFF, everyone. :-) I couldn't resist adding this musical link.
