Mullumbimby artist Anne Leon poses with her colourful silkscreen fish socks at the Swell Sculpture Festival at Currumbin Beach on the Gold Coast. Thousands of people descended on the beach at the weekend for the 11th annual Swell Sculpture Festival, which featured a stunning display of over 50 sculptures built by local, national and international artists. The festival, which runs until 22 September, is free and open all hours with organisers saying a selection of sculptures reveal ‘a new verve as they are lit up under the southern sky’.
