Whalers Well

By Artist Matt Turley

Local artist Matt Turley has created an art piece to wrap around the whalers well in the newly developed carpark at the base of the Bluff.

Turley has created 3 Corten steel sculptures including a whale, whalers and a try pot. The try pot and whalers pieces are important as they acknowledge what the area was settled for and are an important part of our local history.  

The pieces are made up of layered Corten steel strips, with stainless highlights in each piece. The layers add contrast and depth, and the shapes are created using straight / angular lines  to add interest instead of a direct representation.
