Sculpture by the Sea
Sydney's annual seaside festival of sculpture


The 16th October was a magnificent morning for the opening of this annual event. I ran the 7km return trail that hugs the cliffs and ocean to Bronte beach. The jagged sandstone cliffs, white sand beaches and pounding surf make Sydney a special city. The sculptures glistened in bright spring light, adding to the natural beauty of this place. I photographed the pieces that captured my imagination. Below is my favourite piece and a slide show of sculptures from 2007 for comparison.





Cyndi Freiman's new work
Celebrating Handwriting


In her final semester Cyndi produced a large body of work. She researched the death of handwriting and completed a series entitled celebrating handwriting. She used many different processes, including heat transfer, printing, photography, painting on canvas, board and paper. Cyndi used personal letter, book covers from her published writings and old images from her family in these works. They can be viewed in the Fine Art section of my web site and are for sale.
