Sydney has its Sculpture by the Sea, but a small town on the NSW south coast is now matching its lucrative prize pool.
"It's the biggest award that I know about in Australia at the moment ... it puts a blast of air under your wings."But the winner of the equal-highest prize on offer in Australia for sculpture said she did not do it for the money. "The sense of wanting to be alive translated into this work, it's all about the uncertainty of being pinned down on one place and not being sure how to go forward which comes with grief," she said.She said the scratches on the piece were deliberate, noting that people sometimes became concerned when they saw them."I don't want a work that looks fresh out of the fabrication yard, I want to see the work in it, I want to see the effort, it's sort of like an older face.
"Regionally it is huge, to punch above your weight so to speak to have a $100,000 award outside a major metropolitan area is just extraordinary.
