Artist: David Hunwick.
Two Blue Whale rib bones connect to form an eye through which you can look out at the views off Sidney while lending the thought of the whale looking back to shore. David’s explanation of this piece is quite profound when you consider that blue whales had been hunted to near extinction until protected in 1966; “I created this sculpture to reflect on the connection between mankind and nature. Our relationship with the world about us has often suffered from the consequences of disconnect and disharmony.”
