An artist who had to restart his life-size sculpture from scratch three weeks out from the deadline has taken out the top prize at the 2025 Castaways Sculpture Awards.
Bridgetown artist Kim Perrier was awarded the $10,000 Major Award for his work De-Vine, a full-size aluminium sculpture that merges the human form with elements of nature. The piece was completed just hours before installation after a casting failure forced Perrier to begin again from scratch.
