Centrefold

Try putting the Indian Ocean inside Mark Grey-Smith's Centrefold. Its folded geometric form creates a window through the sculpture, turning sea, sky and horizon into part of the work. Acquired from Sculpture by the Sea in 2006, it has become one of the most recognisable pieces along the North Cott foreshore, with people loving to take photos with themselves in the middle of the sculpture.

Centrefold

Look on the foreshore side of Marine Parade opposite Eileen Street, a little south of the Ocean Beach Hotel. Approach along the public coastal path.

WA sculptor Mark Grey-Smith has spent decades exploring geometry, structure and patterns found in nature. He describes his sculptures as a kind of "drawing in space", playing with solid form, edges and the empty spaces between them. Centrefold makes that idea particularly easy to see - the opening is as important as the material around it.

Try lining up the opening with the horizon, then move sideways or crouch down. The sculpture stays still while the picture inside keeps changing with your position, the ocean and the sky.

Centrefold was exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2006 and acquired for the Town's permanent collection. You'll find it on the Marine Parade beachfront opposite Eileen Street, an easy stop on a walk south from the Ocean Beach Hotel.
