Sculpture by day, inferno by night at Queenscliff’s Low Light

CROWDS converged in Point Lonsdale and Queensscliff at the weekend to watch towering
sculptures ignite in a mass of flames.

The Low Light Winter Solstice sculpture burnings on Saturday celebrated the day of the year with the least amount of daylight hours.

The first sculpture – shaped like a lighthouse – was set alight on the Point Lonsdale village lookout, while another resembling a snowflake went up in flames on Queenscliff’s main street.

In consultation with a local artist, the unique and thought-provoking sculptures representing the towns and reflective of Low Light were erected, and on display in the lead up to the burnings.
