Find Tribanga III along Station Street in Cottesloe Village, east of the Railway Street end. Approach from the public footpath.
Sydney-based sculptor Clara Hali has long been interested in the human body, dance and gesture. Rather than making anatomically realistic figures, she stretches, bends and simplifies the body to emphasise movement and emotion. In Tribanga III, the tilted head, shifting torso and angled legs give a solid sculpture the feeling that it might continue moving.
The work combines bronze, aluminium and sandstone and belongs to an edition dating from 2002-06. The title refers to tribhanga, literally a three-bend pose, familiar in Indian sculpture and classical dance.
You'll find Tribanga III on Station Street in Cottesloe Village. Threshold of a Dream and Farewell Kiss are nearby, so it's easy to make a small art wander out of a train trip, coffee or browse through the village.
