Public art we saw in Perth

Whilst in Perth Fiona and I continued out early morning ramblings in search of coffee, exercise and the art of the city in the soft light and peace of early morning. Though the light is not always good for clear photos.

We came across some fairly major and large pieces of work including: the large red ribbon (my title for it); a group of people; and a group of kangaroos.

But what I liked best was a group of 10 smaller bronze works tucked away between buildings.  Below are some fragments of the detail of the works.

I also liked this drain cover.

We discovered a formal sculptural work that was mounted on a marble and Corten steel base - beautiful rust - but that will have to wait until later. All photos were taken with the iPhone.
