I’ve been eyeing this piece of sculpture up for some time and trying to work out how best to capture it.

This striking piece of art is at the entrance to the South Mole in Fremantle

Day 19

January 19, 2010

We welcome in The World cruise ship and spend time on the quay.

This bronze statue recalls the many immigrants who arrived in the port of Fremantle over decades. It catches that moment of uncertainty, hope for a better future mixed with homesickness, when first setting foot on the Australian shore.

Two people standing on the quay, looking lost and helpless, not sure where to go, what to do. A small suitcase contains their worldy belongings. So here we are, what now?

Day 25

January 25, 2010

We spend most of the day planning our front garden improvements. A hard session at the gym had made doing much else extremely painfull!

A life size bronze sculptor of well known Fremantle sculptor Pietro Porcelli

The sculpture in Kings Square depicts the artist Porcelli at work, shaping his clay bust long after the subject matter has left (there is an empty stool). The “artist works alone” theme seems to add a new dimension to the piece, given that Pieto died a virtual recluse.
