This artwork is located in Hunter Park, a sculpture park in the eastern suburb of Bondi, looking out to the Pacific Ocean. 'Chapel' was created by sculptor Vaclav Fiala in 2005. It was originally shown in Sculpture by the Sea, the annual temporary art exhibition at Bondi and then gifted to Waverley Council for permanent exhibition in the sculpture park.
There are some artwork difficult to understand but yet beautiful ...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Wong Ching Wah and it is beautiful! Terrific capture as always and, of course, I LOVE your BLUE skies!! Have a great week and a very Merry Christmas, Jim!

Looks like the artist was torn between a sculpture or guillotine.
ReplyDeleteSorry but I wouldn't call this art, looks like planks nailed together, lol !
ReplyDeleteYes, it does remind me of the guillotine... :-)
ReplyDeletewhat a pretty interesting architecture :)
ReplyDeleteu may view mine here
I would like to visit Hunter Park such interesting art work.
ReplyDeleteWong Ching Wah, I tend to agree when I see some of these works of art.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting sculpture, so unusual. Good photo!
ReplyDeleteAnd belated: Thanks for commenting on my blog.
I don't really get this either, but on the other hand, some ruins are pretty impressive even though it is difficult to tell what it may originally have looked like.
ReplyDeleteit looks like a giant magnet.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting picture! I have no idea why but the sculpture reminds me a little of a guillotine!
ReplyDeleteyou have shown us a great many sculptures, but this one I don´t understand.
ReplyDeleteReminded me of a 'tuning fork'. May it bring happy and festive sound for your Tuesday.

glad to read that i'm not the only one having diffculty understanding what the artist was conveying with this structure. i like its simplicity.
ReplyDeleteIts certainly an amazing and thought-provoking piece of work. Thank you for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt does remind me of a guillotine, it is an odd piece of art. I have enjoyed your sculptures by the sea.
ReplyDeleteI defintely think this is art, and good art. Beautiful forms contrasting with one another. Nice.
ReplyDeleteNice piece. It's looks kinda scary though...
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Jim.
Beautiful My World Tuesday posting
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and have a nice week,
Greetings, Bram

Seen on My World Tuesday
Good to see the sculptures made permanent
ReplyDeleteI agree with some of the bloggers: my first thought was that this was a guillotine, then I thought it's an instrument to hoist up big stones like in Stonehenge in the UK.
ReplyDeleteWhat will people think if they find this a thousand years after us? Perhaps we are wrong about Stonehenge and is it simply a work of art too!Thanks for sharing and giving us something to think about.
They're not getting any better but the view is still good.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Jim, don't hate me, but this one kinda leaves me cold. The photo is your standard excellent, but I kinda don't get where the "sculpting" is here. Understand that my sister and her soul mate build entire custom houses on the West Coast of Canada in tongue and groove style (no nails), so my expectations of any wood work may be high.
ReplyDeleteFrancisca, I was in two minds about posting this one because I didn't think much of its merits as art. Originally I actually mistook it for some sort of delapidated equipment. In the end, I decided to post it anyway because it has an interesting setting and thought it might provoke some discussion and opinions.
ReplyDeleteI love it! We've only seen an ocean once, and it was in North Carolina. I have, however taken several ocean vacations since, in my dreams. Last night was one of them. That one wasn't as good though, because the ocean had pollution in it, and I was told not to go in it. I went into the swimming pool instead.
ReplyDeletehee hee...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a medieval torture device...
