Dark Night Shine 2013

A dark piece of polished granite brings an unexpectedly quiet art stop to one of Cott's busiest corners. Japanese sculptor Takahiro Hirata's Dark Night Shine 2013 plays with weight, curved form and reflected light. Walk around it and notice how a stone that looks almost black can suddenly catch the sky. It has both a curved softness and a sharp, almost dangerous form.

Dark Night Shine 2013

Find the work beside the village footpath at Napoleon Street and Stirling Highway. Use the pedestrian crossings when approaching from the other side.

Takahiro Hirata is a Japanese sculptor from Hokkaido whose practice centres on stone, often working with simple abstract forms and carefully finished surfaces. Dark Night Shine 2013 is carved from black granite, using the stone's solidity and polished surface to create a work that changes subtly with light and viewpoint.

The sculpture was exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2014 and acquired for the Town's permanent collection that year - the 2013 in its title refers to when the work was created, not when it arrived in Cottesloe.

You'll find it near the corner of Napoleon Street and Stirling Highway. Give it a moment before heading into the village: its dark, compact form can easily disappear into the busy streetscape until sunlight catches the polished stone. From here, continue along Napoleon and Station streets to find more of Cott's public art.
