I saw, and completely fell in love with, this beautiful glass sculpture at the National Gallery of Art in Melbourne last Friday. I would have loved to take it home, even though it doesn’t even remotely match the decor of my entire house! I was mesmerised by the ingenuity and creative vision evident in the final piece. The title ‘Dumped’ is also really quite evocative of waves and the glass is filled with tiny bubbles, showing the swimmer being tossed around in the surf.
As a kid… this happened a lot to me! Face planting in the sand in the surf on a semi regular basis is part of growing up in Australia I think! 🙂 The artist is Norweigan born, but current resident of Canberra, Peter Wilsson… and if I had a spare $2790, I would have bought it!
It’s at the Kirra Galleries in the NGV if anyone else has a spare $3k and can’t think of something for me for my next birthday! 😛
