Cones
"Water Dance"
This installation is next to the Forrest Highway near Mandurah, Western Australia.. The sculpture is titled 'The Water Dance' by artist Anne Neil and consists of 8 cone shapes some 5.5m high and 4.5m in diameter. There are also 16 poles. The poles and cones are placed at a variety of angles to represent the movement of rain hitting the earth. The cones represent cupped hands reaching up to catch the rain drops. The poles represent the water depth markers found in rivers. The cones are painted blue on the inside. At night they light up, changing colour from blue to green.
(The above information is paraphrased from www.public-art-directory.com.)
It isn't possible to get to the sculpture easily. There is a parking lay-by adjacent, but the sculpture is surrounded by a moat and a fence. The fence would be easy to negotiate, the moat less so.
We have driven past this many times as it lies right next to the southbound lanes of the highway, but this was the first time we'd ever stopped to look closely. It was worth the wait.
Best seen big. Please press Z.
