2020 SWELL ARTWORK – Julara – The Mullet, Simon McVerry
Take some time and look out across the expanse of the sea – there is a silver fish out there that leaps from the water, if it’s close you might hear it’s ‘whack’ and see it’s splash as it re-enters the water, look for the sea eagle on the wing circling above, feel the cool westerly wind on your back, winter is here and it is time for the Mullet Run. This piece was created to highlight the story of the fish in our local estuarine and marine ecosystems.
Come and see for yourself at SWELL Sculpture Festival, Pacific Parade, Currumbin 11-20 September.
