Sculpture on the Edge

It was a wet day when I made my way to Flaxton, to this year’s Sculpture on the Edge. The clouds obscured the magnificent view down to the coast but the sculptures were as captivating as ever.

Seventy-one sculptors exhibited 115 artworks, many around the theme “upcycled”. Congratulations to Jean Bennett from Maleny on receiving the Sculptor of the Year Award for her piece Dance of Love. Jean's recent exhibition The Space in Between – in collaboration with Lyne Marshall – ran at the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre. Rhonda Piggott
