Dave's unicorn floatie
"Dave" by Coady (Vic)
Sculpture By the Sea, Bondi to Tamarama Beaches Walk
2023
Smile on Saturday: Part of Artpiece (glad I "saved" this one)
"Dave is a reference to Michelangelo’s luminous marble carving of David, the epitome of male perfection for centuries.
By projecting this thinking into the contemporary realm, the new version of David (or ‘Dave’ as he is known to friends) cuts a benign figure in the midst of social change. Originally fabricated in enamel coated polyurethane and installed along the coast of Bondi (Sculpture By The Sea 2016), Dave, assisted by 3D modelling from a maquette, now has versions in Bronze and anodized aluminium. With gender rules and traditional male stereotypes fading Coady describes Dave’s characteristics as more baby boomer than millennial, a journey in time that has redefined notions of masculinity."
