Sea Star Sculpture, Wategos Beach, Byron Bay
by Karin Taylor from the Beach Series
Forgotten Beach (Byron Bay) – Robert James
I made this sculpture
on Wategos Beach Byron Bay
not another soul around
to give you an idea of the scale of the sculpture
most of the stones were the size of your palm
some twice that size and some smaller
I had noticed large piles of beautiful stones behind me began to create something out of them
intuitively, one stone at a time

It’s a joy and privilege to create little offerings to share, a taste of nostalgia, a little warmth for the heart in a moment of reflection. I enjoy illustrating for children and the inner child.

Hi Joan, and thank you :)

Nice sculpture Karin! So if most of those rocks are about the size of my palm I’m guessing that star is about…3m wide? Although I don’t know which stones in here are the palm sized ones you were refering to.
Hi Mui-Ling,
the sculpture would have been approx 2 and a half metres
the larger stones were placed in the centre, and i worked out from there
getting smaller and smaller stones toward the ends of the tendrils
my husband had to take the photo as i am too short to get it in the frame

….if you look at the enlargement, you can see two of my foot impressions in the sand, on the right hand side, around 3 o’clock and 5 o’clock marks…lol
thanks for your comments and i’m glad you like it :)

lovely! (^^)
Wonderful tones and textures, has a lovely energy and dynamic to it.
Hi Lumineux, thanks very much
this will probably be the only photo you’ll see from me tho
it was just that i thought it went nicely with my Beach Series :)

It just goes to show as an artist we shouldn’t limit ourselves art is all around us. This is a beautiful example of that….. a lovely image of the sculpure that you created. When I go to the beach which is a lot lol I’m always taking photos down on my knees looking into crevases I really don’t know what people are thinking but what the heck who cares.
thanks so much for your wonderful encouragement Cate….
i think it’s so funny, like, as you say, why the hell should we care what anyone thinks!!! gosh, ya gotta live :)
i made foot and toe impressions in the sand one day and sketched for hours, it was very cathartic and i produced a wonderful sketch i was proud of…..although when i show it to people they have absolutely no idea what it is!!!! lol

Lovely Karin! Have you seen Andy Goldsworthy"s sculptures? You might like them.
thanks so much, no i haven’t, i’ve only seen David Sandercoe’s sand sculptures and another guy at Byron does beautiful fairy castles sculptures in the sand and then puts tealights in the windows at night, they’re so beautiful and magical…..i will check out Andy Goldsworthy now, thx :)

i love this sculpture you created Karin. it’s beautiful
Hi Carlos, i’m really glad you like it, thank you so much :)
– Karin Taylor
lol; thanks for pointing that out; your footprint kind of blends nicely there though. I remember when I was trying to shoot my “Snowdune” photo, I wanted to avoid making footprints as much as possible.
yes, it’s hard to keep them out… i tried to sweep them out, but it wrecks the surface texture elsewhere….i like them in there as it helps me remember i was actually there :)

Excellent looking sculpture, I bet this took awhile to do Karin, well done.
Hi Steven, thanx very much,
yep, at least a couple of hours
but it was mesmerising fun :)
