THE Fukushima nuclear disaster inspired the sculptor who has won top prize at this year's Sculpture By The Sea in Sydney.
Stephen King, from Walcha, NSW, was awarded the $60,000 Macquarie Group Sculpture Prize - the highest cash prize for sculpture in NSW - for his work titled Fallout.
At the announcement on Friday, founding director of Sculpture By The Sea, David Handley, noted that King had been close to winning the main prize at the annual event a number of times.
King said his winning work had been inspired by the fallout from the Fukushima nuclear disaster, but the wooden structure's concept and construction had morphed over three years.
King has been exhibiting in Australia and internationally since 1979. His work of the last 30 years will be the subject of a touring survey exhibition at Tamworth Regional Gallery in 2014.
Sculpture By The Sea, in its 17th year, is showing 106 diverse sculptures along the Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk. The works are by artists from 14 countries.
The exhibition, which is free to the public, runs until Sunday, November 10 and is expected to attract 500,000 visitors.
