In August my amazing Mum and I visited the 17th Biennale of Sydney: The Beauty of Distance. We went to the Museum of Contemporary Art and the caught the ferry across to Cockatoo Island. I am never a huge fan of the Biennale, all their strange ways of making political statements and art too odd to make much sense out of the apparent concept behind it, however this year was different. It was amazing, interesting, witty and so so enjoyable. Just kicking pebbles around Cockatoo Island is fantastic on its own, there is something so eerie and haunted about the place, it makes you feel different.
Here is a small collection of artworks and photo worthy sights from Cockatoo Island.
Artists Danius Kesminas and Michael Stevenson, composer Neil Kelly, musicologist Rohan Drape, and inventor David Nelson
