The 4th Annual New Zealand Sandcastle Competition took place last weekend at New Brighton Beach, and a couple of the creations made me take a quick peek through the Gallery's collection for some equally fine examples.

White Water Falls
English artist Richard Long's White Water Falls (2012) in Sydney is really worth a look. It's a fantastic surprise in the stairwell atrium of the Kinghorn Cancer Centre in Darlinghurst (370 Victoria Street). It's not a place we'd normally go to view art, but totally rewarding - I was so pleased to be told about it when I was close by!
Notes
Return of the Hand
Passing by the desk of Gallery educator Bianca van Leeuwen last week, I was intrigued by an arrangement of plaster hands being prepared for an outreach classroom activity about composition and colour.
