Furcula Wishbones Sculpture in Yamba

Cass Samms 'Furcula' 2011 is four stylised bronze wishbone pieces that interconnect with one another creating an interactive space. The sculpture which is approximately 1.6m wide, 2.7m long and 1m high sits on the edge of the rocks overlooking the beach and river crossing.

The Furcula or wishbones are inspired by the old tradition of pulling a wishbone with a friend to make a wish. These wishbones will bring luck for a safe crossing of the river mouth to the sea.
