Wind Playground debut at Sculptre by the Sea, Cottesloe. Australia

Wind Playground is done and shining away on Cottesoe beach of for its premiere at the 9th edition of Sculpture by the Sea 2013

BIG THANKS to all the supporter (full List below).

I know not all when as planed . Between equipment malfunction, limited resources, high hopes often smashed by false promises the production of Wind Playground delay of a year and I’m terribly sorry about that.

On the bright site here it is blowing with the wind and people love it.

Today I spend all day playing with kids inside and out Wind Playground. It was such fun . I could see their big eye light up with dreams, seeking imaginary adventures inside and outside the sculpture. I was honored by it and inspired by their excitement and thoughtful questions .

Thank you to all the little monkeys
You made my day
