Winner Elyssa Sykes-Smith ‘Canopy of Thoughts‘
Each year, the Sculpture at Scenic World competition and exhibition at Katoomba, NSW produces yet more wonderful sculptures and installations. From the challenging to the simply beautiful, it’s a go-to for sculpture lovers.
The 2015 major prize of $20,000 has gone to Marrickville artist Elyssa Sykes-Smith for her work ‘Canopy of Thoughts‘, a spectacular assemblage of recycled timber pieces.
