Brett Whilteley drew 15 great dog pisses of Paris. Sculpture by the Sea at Bondi had the tell-tale mark at the base of the odd sculpture.
For me, it’s part of it. The furry critics decide the fate. Each year I photograph dogs at the event. The dogs of Bondi are unique – there are the walked variety and the loose variety. Both have their merits.
I think I see them a bit like the Dog Children of San Francisco, maybe drawings, maybe a series, maybe not.
Either way I like the fit between dog, sculpture and owner, it’s just another aspect of the event that makes it unique.
Bella made her mark on Terry Stringer’s ‘Intercut Head Hand and Figure’. Must be the Kiwi connection!
I always see a resemblance between dog and owner! My dogs have been a cocker spaniel, an unclipped poodle, a German shepherd and golden retrievers. wonder what I look like ?and a grand dog Weimaraner
Me too, I have also had a cocker spaniel, cross St Bernard/Ridgeback, border collie and now a Jack Russell – I’m pretty much a mix of all those I think. I’ve also had a blu tongue lizard don’t know where that fits in!
