Follow the public coastal path to the southern Marine Parade-Curtin Avenue junction. Look for the large arch-like sculpture beside the junction approach.
Peter Lundberg is known internationally for monumental concrete sculpture made using the earth itself as part of the process. He excavates forms in the ground, pours concrete into them and then lifts the hardened sculpture out, leaving rough surfaces and irregular edges that record their contact with soil and stone.
Wuyi takes its name from Wuyi, a mountainous region of China where Lundberg has worked and exhibited. The sculpture was created for Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2012, where it received the Town of Cottesloe Art Acquisition Award and became part of the permanent collection.
Its position near the southern entrance to Cottesloe gives the huge form plenty of space. Stand back to take in the whole arch, then move closer and look through it as the landscape changes inside the opening. The Vlamingh Memorial, restored coastal vegetation and Nature Discovery Space are nearby, making this an easy addition to a wander through southern Cott.
