First Prize Winner 2017
“"The setting for Sculpture on the Edge made this event a significant drawcard for me, as an artist. The beautifully maintained and varied surrounds at Spicers Tamarind assist in showcasing any sculpture. From open parklands and gardens to a shaded and edgy rainforest walk, each vista invites exploration and sculptural surprises within each setting. SOTE as an event, and the exemplary organisation of it, have more than enough capacity to assist in making sculpture accessible to all."”
