Converse

Here’s an artwork you’re meant to sit on. Henning Meeves and Claire Molloy created Converse around a lone Cottesloe tree, inviting you to pause, take a seat and listen to the place around you. The two low concrete forms face each other like a conversation, with the tree, ocean air and passing sounds becoming part of the experience.

Find the chair-like forms on the grass above the main beach, near the Marine Parade frontage opposite Sea View Golf Club.

Meeves and Molloy created Converse for Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2020 as an interactive work exploring the “symbiosis of people and place”. Rather than simply looking at it, the artists invite you to sit and consider your own relationship with nature - particularly the tree around which the work was conceived.

Made from reinforced concrete, the sculpture measures about three metres long and deliberately uses a tough, permanent material to create somewhere for a quiet pause. The two related seats belong together, setting up a conversation between people, sculpture, tree and place.

The Town of Cottesloe purchased Converse from the 2020 exhibition and it now forms part of the permanent Cottesloe Sculpture Trail. So take the hint from the artists: sit down for a few minutes, put the phone away and see what you hear.
