Look along Station Street near its Railway Street end. Follow the public village footpath, close to the other sculptures around the station precinct.
NSW sculptor Peter Tilley often uses simplified human figures and everyday objects to explore journeys, imagination and the search for meaning. His anonymous figures are deliberately open-ended rather than portraits of particular people, leaving you to bring some of your own story to what they might be thinking or facing. Across his work, Tilley returns to contrasts such as hope and despair, reality and wishful thinking, and presence and absence.
Threshold of a Dream was exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2010 and acquired for the Town's permanent collection that year.
You'll find it on Station Street in the heart of Cottesloe Village, where the idea of crossing a threshold sits neatly among the everyday arrivals, departures and passing people. Tribanga III and Farewell Kiss are nearby, so it's easy to turn a coffee, shop or train trip into a short village art wander.
