Created by world-renowned Danish recycle artist Thomas Dambo, and built in collaboration with local community members, the new Giant, Yaburgurt Cirkelstone, has been unveiled at the Coodanup foreshore in Mandurah.
Yaburgurt is the newest Giant to join Dambo's Australian-first exhibition, and replaces the Vivi Cirkelstone sculpture which was damaged in December last year.
The new addition was named in consultation with Bindjareb Elders, and the namesake pays tribute to a respected Elder from the region.
The Giants of Mandurah project is supported by the WA Government through Tourism WA's Regional Events Program, as well as the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, Lotterywest, the City of Subiaco and the Alcoa Foundation.
Dambo's exhibition was initiated and produced by FORM: Building a State of Creativity Inc. and delivered in collaboration with the City of Mandurah.
Visitors can experience the outdoor sculpture trail in the Peel region until at least 12 November 2023.
