Artist:: Gerry McMahon

Date Completed:: 30 June 2011

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.

Seeing the Sea

138-139 Esplanade, Brighton SA 5048, Australia

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.
