Description
Todays sculpture and post: 'DEGREES of SEPARATION'
by: Mike Van Dam, from QLD (Queensland, Australia)
made with: 4mm 316 marine grade stainless steel chain.
his own words:
'The chain in this sculpture represents the links people have with each other and their surroundings. Random acts of kindness, extreme acts of violence, we can choose these behaviours but we can never foresee how far they will affect others, their friends, families, their future. For every action there is a chain reaction.'

I went back one evening, to experience the night time lighting versions - you'll see both results here, but because of the way it was lit, I had to compromise the different views ...
Cheers Brigitte ;)

Wow!
Not only outstanding photos but something to think about too. Nicely done BB:)
I love this sculpture! It makes total sense. (Sometimes they don't! LOL!) It's one I'd love to see in person. Thanks for the day and night views. You went above and beyond the call of duty for this duo!
Nice pair (of pictures). I like the texture very much. Looks a little like snakeskin.
What an amazing idea. I thought they were car tires from the thumbnail.
Gosh! This is really exciting, what a masterpiece! Thankyou for going back to get the night one, well worth it!
nice sculpture and collage
These pics are brilliant Brigitte and if I had to chose it would be the night one.
Wonderful captures! The little girl and the 'innocence' is touching the message of the sculpture. The artist gives a good message. Thank you, for sharing!
Nice!!!
Back on the chain-gang, sheesh the hardened criminals seem to get younger and younger every year ! LOL Interesting commentary and life observations by the artist and with his entry...kool ! ~Cheers~
Two fantastic photo's, BB-chen, what a glow is on the steal, this really is a fest for the eye. I like the shadow of that little girl, which one can see on zoom in the top-one. The night sculpture even glows more, with that nice green touch in the middle of it. Hope things are well with you, dear friend!
It's a great shot and artistically the sculpture works very well too, well taken :)
Fantastic sculpture with chains! Excellent capture!
Very nice sculpture and excellent capture!
I like the fact that there are two POVs - it adds more depth to the object in that we see more of it
fabulous pictures
VERY BEAUTIFUL
I like both versions and then both POVs too! Mike is a talented artist. Looking at your collage and the skyline in the background - I am now 1,588 miles (2,556 km) closer to OZ. Pretty cool eh!!!!!
well done with the night version, btw.. what are you doing so late at the beach ;-) was it worth Brigitte!!
Trust me Priska, I wouldn't go on my very own, I always take my big LED torch with me LOL (BTW my son Jeff accompanied me, that was the plan !)
How warped tires or snakes. A wonderful structure and sculpture that tickle the imagination. The extraordinary diversity of ideas at a festival are always appealing and foster your own creativity! Hugs, your Julchen
Very cool captures! Wonderful sculpture. It's very interesting to read the artist's words. I like the three profiles in the first image. I'm not sure what the middle profile is. Whether it is a shadow or the stroller appearing as a profile, but whatever it is, it really works well with the profile of the child, and the one of the adult sitting down by the tree. They add a feeling of mystery and connectedness which go well with the intent of the work. I like the little girl staring through and interacting very physically with the piece. The evening shot is beautiful. I love the way it shimmers. It's really interesting to see them both.
