At Kangaroo Point here in Brisbane, there used to be a TAFE college catering from memory for hair dressers. With the dumbing-down of the state, which we currently experience, the college has been pulled down and a park has been created. Surprisingly, the Brisbane City Council did a great job. So, today, we visited the place.

The council had commissioned International artist Wolfgang Buttress to design this interesting piece of art called Venus Rising - Out of the Water and into the Light. The sculpture is 23m high and constructed from stainless steel and copper tubing.

You can actually walk inside and look up into the heavens. I must admit, I love it.

There is also a coffee shop with fabulous views over the city where we had morning tea. It's a great place to take interstate and overseas visitors to see the city of Brisbane.
That is a great park and I like the sculpture, especially seeing it from the inside.
ReplyDeleteVenus Rising.....wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe sculpture is wonderful, especially on the inside. Well captured.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they've done a particularly good job (thankfully!). Love the name 'Wolfgang Buttress' and the inside of his work is brilliant. Good photo.
