At a ceremony held at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf, the artist (pictured) was awarded the $25,000 prize for #19, a piece in her ongoing series Bunnies in Love, Lust and Longing, which will be acquired for the Woollahra Council’s permanent public collection.
Erica Muriata was selected for the Special Commendation Award of $2,000 for her work Recycled Jawun, and Penny Howard’s After School received the $1,000 Mayor’s Award.
The winning sculptures and works of all of this year’s finalists are now on display at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf, 548 New South Head Road, Double Bay in a free exhibition running until 20 October, with all sculptures on sale to the public.
