Sculpture by the sea

Sculpture by the sea is an annual spectacular international art exhibition. Last Tusday, our class(AMEP B) and AMEP A class went on an excursion to Bondi to see the sculpture by the sea.

We took a train to Bondi Juction at 9:16 in the morning, but that was something wrong, when Lucy and I got on the train, we found out that our classmates were still standing outside the train, then the door closed and we went on our journey to Bondi Junction by ourselves. But soon we saw May was on the train too. We met our classmates at the bus stop to Bondi Beach.

By the time we arrived, we started to take photos. I was busy taking photos, so I got lost most of the time. The first thing I saw was "alchemy", the artist put the steel sheet and mirror inoto the rock pools so the pools look like fulll of water after rain. "eye sea you" was quite impressive, a pair of big eyes were looking at you and said "I see you", that's my imagination. The artist was expressing people's differing perceptions of reality with special reference to technology and the changes it brings. "The shoppers" was a good one too, in a commercial world will you lost youself? Jin and I queued up to see the "firmament 5770", it was a surprise for me, it was dark indise, through the tiny hold on the plastic wall I could see the sunlight streaming in, it really looked like the firmament. It was a good experience to see something like this.

We had lunch under the trees, in front of us was "tatters", the money-covered sandstone. We went to the toilet after lunch, but we didn't hear the "privy", that was a shame. We walked toward the beach, on our way we saw the sand shoes which is my favourite one, its name is "step by step, inch by inch... to wards teh precipice". It reflect our existence, soft worn centres hidden beneath hard exteriors. At any moment we may find ourselves at a precipice. But I didn't receive that, I just found it beautiful and funny, there were many many shoes, from the top of the hill down to the road. It looked like our street, different people, different shoes, different life.

After that, I found my work, the assignment I'd got. It was named "subterfuge", I took penny of photos of it, not only because it was my work but also I like it, it was made of matel and I love matel things. Then we saw the winner's one "Where is the freedom?" and the "little boy lost" and a fantastic house "illums box". Finally we went to the beach.

At about 2:30 we catched a bus from Tamarama beach to Bondi Junction, and then changed the train to come back, we were so tired that we slept on the train, but we all had a good time.

A letter to the editor

The Editor
Dear sir
SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES
But Smoker Joe, we do pay taxes to the government, maybe much more than you do, but not in cigarettes.
I don't believe that fouling the air is your right, if so, is it your right to let other people get health problems? Don't you know smoking is bad for others? Think about your family, your friends, it's harful for them too.

So give up smoking, use your millions of dollars to help others.

Yours,

Pei

By the way, I've found the link to the song "Smoke gets in your eyes".
