Congratulations Ayako Saito, who has been awarded the major Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe Artist Award for her magnificent work Lunar Shadow.
Made from steel, the sculpture encloses and embraces space to create an emotional sanctuary.
‘Ayako Saito manipulates steel with wonderful agility and inventiveness truly forging space with form to create movement and dynamic relations between the parts of the sculptures without losing unity in each work. Creating a three dimensional poetry that embraces the economy of haiku.’ – Ethan Harrier, 2019.
Donated by the Minderoo Foundation, the Sculpture by the Sea Artist Award aims to increase opportunities for artists, is judged on excellence and is open to all artworks in the exhibition.
