Claisebrook,
East Perth
The
Impossible Triangle Part One
An easy starting
point for exploring the Claisebrook Cove in East Perth is to walk
"The Greenway". The Greenway is a pedestrian path that
runs through the Claisebrook Cove area from west to east. The Greenway
with its gentle curves following the water is an easy walk which
will give you a good feel for the area.

Walking
along The Greenway pedestrian path, you will be able to spot the
"Impossible Triangle" sculpture at the roundabout of Bennett
Street and Plain Street in East Perth.
The
Impossible Triangle sculpture forms part of Claisebrook Square and
had its beginnings when local artists were invited to submit their
ideas for a major public artwork commission as part of the East
Perth Redevelopment project.
The
Impossible Triangle sculpture was created by local artist Brian
McKay and architect Ahmad Abas and is based on the "Penrose
Triangle" concept developed by the British Geneticist Lionel
Penrose and his son Sir Roger Penrose, a Professor of Mathematics
in the 1950's.
Is
the Impossible Triangle an Illusion?
The
illusion of a triangle occurs when the sculpture is viewed along
the privileged axis at only two locations.
