The hearts hoping to create lasting impact at Sculpture by the Sea

Key points

• Two friends, Philippa Lysaght and Omi McCurdie, have installed dozens of concrete hearts at Marks Park in Bondi as part of this year's Sculpture by the Sea. Each heart represents a woman killed by a former or current partner this year, and the number was increased from 52 to reflect a particularly bad year for violence against women.
• The phrases etched into the hearts reflect language that excuses, minimises or ignores violence. The hearts will go on sale, with proceeds going to Women's Community Shelters.
• The exhibition marks 30 years since its founding in 1977.
