reliminary tests suggest these are tar balls. On Tuesday, Randwick Council closed Coogee Beach after lifeguards found the golf ball-sized objects.

Nearby Gordons Bay was also closed after similar debris was discovered on Wednesday.

Sydney-based artist Andrew Hankin created the giant black sculpture to resemble melanoma.

He crafted it from heavy-duty fabric, ensuring its size and presence make a bold statement. The artwork is three meters high and 20 meters wide.

Hankin explains, “It’s a really big issue, and we wanted to create something unique in scale. It’s going to have a message that will be hard to ignore this summer.”

The sculpture’s dimensions will change throughout the exhibition to emphasize the need for skin cancer awareness. As the event progresses, it will transform in size, shape, and color, representing the evolving nature of melanoma.

According to the Australian Cancer Council, two out of three people are diagnosed with some form of skin cancer before age 70. While anyone can develop melanoma, certain risk factors increase susceptibility. These include a history of childhood tanning and sunburn, fair or freckled skin, and a family history of the disease.

To promote skin cancer awareness, the organization Skin Check Champions will offer free skin checks near the sculpture. This initiative will take place on October 26 and 27.

Scott Maggs, the founder of Skin Check Champions, started the organization after losing his best friend to melanoma.

He stresses the importance of regular self-examinations, saying, “Over 60 percent of skin cancers are identified by the people who had them. It’s crucial for Australians to learn how to spot changes on their skin.”
