Sculpture at Heide
A couple of weeks ago some friends and I visited Heide to view the Less is More exhibition. It was a very wet and dreary day, so we did not spend the time wandering the sculpture garden, but I did manage to get a few snaps of a few pieces.
Inge King’s imposing Rings of Saturn (2005–6) is made from stainless steel, and sits atop a little hillock; the ‘big balls’ scattered below were added to the lawn to complement this sculpture. They are by Xenian Living Light, a company providing architectural lighting to commercial projects. They look far more effective glowing in the dark (when the nearby carpark is cropped out).
The three-piece sculpture Pebbles is by Wona Bae, an artist and florist, whose designs are inspired by the cycles of nature. Pebbles is constructed from Victorian cork, an inviting and interactive piece. The three giant bales are scattered in Sunday Reed’s garden of the rustic cottage housing the Heide I gallery.
