Lighthouse

A six-metre lighthouse on Eric Street - but not one that's going to guide any ships home. WA sculptor Tony Jones' brightly painted steel Lighthouse brings the shapes and signals of the coast into an everyday Cott streetscape. In its own way, it has become a beacon for the little cluster of local shops, cafes and businesses gathered around this Eric Street corner.

Lighthouse

Find Lighthouse near Eric Street and Chamberlain Street, inland from the Ocean Beach Hotel. Approach from the public footpath at the corner.

The maritime connection is no accident. Tony Jones grew up sailing on the Swan River and boats, navigation markers, maritime signals and salvaged marine materials have remained recurring influences throughout his long career. Lighthouse takes that familiar visual language and turns it into a bold piece of abstract sculpture.

The six-metre-high painted-steel work was gifted to the Town of Cottesloe in 2012 for permanent display at the Eric Street shopping centre. Rather than standing beside the ocean, it rises above shops, cafes, houses and passing traffic - a coastal marker transplanted into the neighbourhood and a fitting beacon for this small local hub.

You'll find it near Eric and Chamberlain streets. Stop for a coffee or something to eat while you're here, or make use of this handy little local hub with its small supermarket, pharmacy, gym and other neighbourhood services. Then head west along Eric Street towards North Cott and the ocean that inspired so much of Jones' work.
