Congratulations to Drew McDonald for taking home the 22nd annual Allens People's Choice Award for his work 'Sharnana' at Sculpture by the Sea , Bondi! We're delighted to have again been a major sponsor of Sculpture by the Sea this year. 'The illogical nature of ‘Sharnana’ - a shark emerging from a peeled banana - mirrors the chaotic nature of our existence. But ‘Sharnana’ isn’t about dread and despair; it’s about embracing the surreal humour of life’s contradictions and finding joy in the everyday,' Drew said.
