~ from 'Tidal Currency' by Candy Royalle
Celebrated poet and Tamarama local, Candy Royalle explored her connection to the ocean and local beaches through the creation of new poetry.
Designed by Mel Feddersen and painted by Poncho Army, 'Tidal Currency' appeared on Bondi’s Sea Wall from August 2017 to February 2018. Visitors to Bondi have the chance to experience the poetry which glows in the dark like "gulls in the light".
