Kings Cross, Stones Against The Sky
"Stones Against The Sky" is a contemporary sculpture created by Ken Unsworth in 1998. It is installed in front of The Elan apartment building at Kings Cross, in the inner city suburb of Rushcutters Bay. This view is from the entrance of the building, looking towards the Sydney city skyline at sunset.
Lovely silhouette.

Wow! Those elevated stones make a dramatic statement against the lovely sunset colours!
ReplyDeletelol, that´s a different sculpture. Not sure I like it though. Have to see it in daylight.
ReplyDeleteI don't think much of the sculpture either but it makes a good silhouette against a sunset. If you click on The Elan link, you can see it in the daylight although it's dwarfed by the apartment building.
DeleteHaving them 'in the sky' makes them somehow look without weight.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Friday.
Heavy-duty sculpture!
ReplyDeleteYes, I like those delicious sculptures, good job!
ReplyDeleteA very primal looking sculpture Jim.
ReplyDeleteNow that is impressive! Quite interesting sculpture!
ReplyDeleteInteresting silhouettes!
ReplyDeleteI like how the angle of the stone sculpture mimics the tall tower in the distance.
ReplyDeleteA nice silhouette against the sunset indeed!
