Catching Squid

Artist Violet Cooper has a love for sea shells and creates works of art collected from across the seas to our very own Brighton Beach. The lettering has been made by hand from clay (with love) and reads 'I see the sea & the sea sees me'

The artwork invites viewers to see the sea from a different perspective and to see the sea looking right back at you.

This sculpture is a memorial work to acknowledge Kathleen Duncan Campbell known as Kitty Whyte. Kitty lived on Yadkanulka Station, north of Port Augusta with her family. She would return to Brighton annually for the summer and taught the children of Brighton to swim. At the conclusion of one of her classes in 1926, Kitty dived from the Brighton Jetty and was fatally attacked by a large shark. Kitty was buried in the St. Judes Cemetery Brighton in the family plot.

The Elements of Play artworks along Brighton Jetty is series of installations that celebrate the physical environment and heightens awareness of wind, the waves and sunlight.
