Sea Anemone

Low, bright and spreading six metres across the grass, Rebecca Rose's Sea Anemone looks as though a piece of the reef has grown to playground scale. Its repeating red-orange steel forms open and close as you move around them. Created with children in mind, this is sculpture designed to make the marine world feel playful, curious and close.

Sea Anemone

Look for the orange, low-domed sculpture at Broome Street and Jarrad Street, beside Sea View Golf Club. Approach from the public footpath.

New Zealand artist Rebecca Rose based Sea Anemone on the soft, tentacled marine animals found around rocky reefs. The sculpture is anything but soft: made from mild steel, it spreads roughly six metres by six metres while rising only about 1.2 metres, giving it a broad, low form quite different from Cott's taller sculptures.

Rose originally spoke about wanting children to engage physically with sculpture rather than seeing art as something remote. Through the familiar marine form, she also hoped to encourage curiosity about the ocean and the importance of looking after it. When Cottesloe acquired the work, the Town noted how strongly children had been drawn to it during the exhibition and installed soft-fall surfacing around it. Today, though, treat Sea Anemone as public art rather than playground equipment and enjoy exploring it from around and between its repeating forms rather than climbing on it.

Sea Anemone was exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2014 and acquired for the permanent collection in 2015. You'll find it near Seaview Kindergarten at Jarrad and Broome streets, close to the Cottesloe Native Garden. Walk around it and watch the steel elements overlap and separate - almost like the anemone is opening and closing as you move.
