Axolotl are once again proud to be Supporting Partner of Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi for the third year.
This year we provided material sponsorship and artisan support to a further three artists - Joel Adler, Lucy Barker and Sallie Portnoy. Each selected based on the quality of their concepts and our capabilities to assist with their diverse aesthetics ranging from mirrored glass to marble coated foam. It has been an exciting and challenging process supporting each artist to realise their vision, and reinforces our own commitment and passion to support the arts.
The 23rd annual exhibition can be enjoyed on the stunning coastal walk between Bondi and Tamarama from the 24th October through to the 10th November. It is the world's largest free public exhibition and transforms the coast into a 2km long outdoor gallery, featuring over 100 sculptures by Australian and international artists.

In addition to the works sponsored by Axolotl, we were engaged by another talented exhibiting artist, Giuliana De Felice, to help create her sculpture titled Rock. Paper. Scissors. Manufactured by Axolotl from travertine, solid cypress and Axolotl Brass applied onto galvanised steel, these touchstones celebrate the rhythm between childhood play and memory.
