The Big ball and chain

The Big ball and chain
The Big Ball & Chain was originally nestled in the sand at the beach for the 2015 Sculpture by the Sea exhibit in Cottesloe. These days it sits near the train station in a park. The creator, Norton Flavel (who also created the Big Hand in Armidale, NSW) wanted to pay homage to the first convicts who arrived by sea in shackles.

I thought it looked just a bit more at home behind the fence like the convicts . you are looking at about 3 time normal human size.

Gillian Everett, Dimas Sequeira, Phil Sutters, TOZ and 13 other people have particularly liked this photo

Its no small sculpture when you are up close to it you are positively dwarfed but on a very very busy road.

I really think this is a very clever statue and the choice of a reflective ball is brilliant.
