Home is Where the Heart is

A kangaroo holds out a heart while looking towards a little house - Jimmy Rix doesn't make you work too hard to find the story in Home is Where the Heart is. Made from weathered Corten steel, it brings a distinctly Australian mix of humour, affection and homecoming to the edge of Cottesloe Village.

Home is Where the Heart is

Follow the Forrest Street footpath near Railway Street, just east of Cottesloe train station. Look for the work within the station precinct.

Australian sculptor Jimmy Rix often uses animals and familiar objects to create playful little narratives in steel. Here, the kangaroo, heart and house turn the familiar saying “home is where the heart is” into a three-dimensional scene. Walk around it and notice how the separate silhouettes line up differently as your viewpoint changes.

The work was exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2017 and selected by the Town's Art Acquisition Panel for the permanent collection that year. Its rust-coloured surface isn't neglect - Corten is a weathering steel designed to develop a protective outer layer as it ages.

You'll find it on Forrest Street near Cottesloe Station, an easy art stop before coffee, shopping or the walk west towards the beach.
