Sculpture by the Sea is on again in Sydney. Apparently, it’s the world’s largest free sculpture exhibition, and it runs along the coast from Bondi Beach (where I live) to Tamarama Beach. Two friends and I braved the inevitable hordes of people today to check out this year’s offerings. It was a beautiful early summer day, with a cloudless sky and a temperature around 26C (79F), and ocean breezes to take the edge off the sun.
Remembering that this week’s theme is curves or rounded, I was on the lookout for a sculpture with no straight lines.
Finally, towards the end of our walk, we came across this one. A sensous swirl of curves twining around itself, with no beginning and no end.
And if you’re wondering why I titled this post “The Indivisible Curves”, it’s because the piece is called “Indivisible.”
When I get my other photos sorted, I’ll post about some of this year’s other sculptures. You can see my other related posts from previous years here.

That’s such a cool sculpture. Lovely. Is there a mathematical reason for the name?

I don’t know about the name. Your question prompted me to google, and the artist website doesn’t even list this one. But he has some similar pieces. http://matthewharding.com.au/work/sculpture

Thanks Leya! Without explaining why, I said to my friends, “Do you think this is curvy? Rounded?” LOL. I was concerned the straight rods might disqualify it.

Crikey, is it that time of year already? Must be almost three years since my visit to Sydney. How time flies!

I was thinking the same thing, it seems much less than three years since you were here. I wonder how M.R. is these days?

She moved down to Victoria with her anti-social cat and took up crocheting. I know. Hard to believe. I miss her wonderful outspokenness 🙂

Was it allowed to climb this curves? Or it was “high art”?

Oh no, this is Art not play. In the uncropped version of the photo with the piece’s name, next to that little plaque is one saying “Do not touch the artwork.” They all have one. And just imagine the potential lawsuits if a child fell!
