Cartwheeling Youngsters
Caroline Rothwell & Event EngineeringThe City of Canada Bay commissioned renowned contemporary artist Caroline Rothwell to produce the artwork, named the Cartwheeling Youngster, which features six bronze sculptures based on the figure of a young child cartwheeling at various locations along the entire foreshore. This artwork has the capacity to become a treasured landmark in Rhodes and will draw visitors to the area, as well as being a talking point for the local community.
The Cartwheeling Youngster sees figures appear along the foreshore – at the water’s edge and on the grassed area. The artwork is about the size of an eight-year-old child and provides amazing silhouettes against the water. The artwork provides a memorable experience for people using the foreshore. It celebrates the youth and vitality of the Rhodes community and signifies renewal, growth and potential. The figures are described as being a metaphor for the regeneration of Rhodes and the vibrancy of the young community.
