366 Days of 2012, Day 221 – Rusty Wave



How many local Adelaide residents have seen this?

The West Beach Coast Park features a number of rusted steel sculpture curling up into the sky. I have often driven past these with the thought that they would make for some great images. This morning I did just that.

After a little bit of research I have discovered that this space is the creative work of GroundPlay, the collaborative team of two Adelaide artist/designers, Gregg Mitchell and Greg Healey. These steel structures depict the sea grasses so important to our coastal marine environment.

It’s not such a leap from sea grass to ocean wave. Just how I saw them.
