● WIND ART SCOOPS TOP SEA SCULPTURE PRIZE

Created by Mount Lawley artist Norton Flavel, the sculpture Bulk Carrier stands at an impressive four metres tall and is designed to float on the water.

The sculpture of the giant ‘goon bag’ will undoubtedly be a big hit during the exhibit as it conjures up nostalgic memories for some of drinking on the beach, waking up with a killer hangover and inflating the bag to double as a pillow.

The sculpture, which is made of reflective PVC and epoxy resin, is on sale for $20,000.
