Landed is an eagle landing with its legs stretched and talons gripping the shape of a heart, which was created by Moruya artist Thomas Westra and won Bega Valley Shire Council's acquisitive prize at this year's Sculpture Bermagui.

"We've narrowed it down to two possible sites, working within the boundaries of predetermined criteria, which include site ownership, adequate land clearance, visibility and installation costs," Bega Valley Regional Gallery director Iain Dawson said.

"Site one is in Bicentennial Park on the corner of the Snowy Mountains Hwy and Hoskins St.

"Site two is near the public toilets on the corner of Adams and Loftus Streets."

Mr Westra began experimenting with the art of forging hot steel 25 years ago and found sculpting it to be most exciting, with endless possibilities. It is now his full-time job.

"I based Landed on the themes of exploration, searching and discovery; holding onto the special things in life, as well as achievement and passion," he said.

"The sculpture is made of hundreds of separate metal parts welded together. An eagle has powerful vision and the ability to see for many kilometres, so I created its large eyes from mirror polished stainless steel.

"I hope the people of Bemboka can embrace Landed as an emblem for the community in their own special way. As we know with art, the message is really in the eye of the beholder."

Acquiring Landed was made possible via the $10,000 acquisitive sculpture prize topped up by $8000-worth of donations from Stephen Pope of Pope Logging, Eden, Raymond and Nicole Innes of Cyneve Contracting, Stephen Cocks of Cocks Logging, Mal Higgins of Sapphire Coast Tree Services, Peter Mann of Kothes and Rob and Robyn Bain.

Council has published a Have Your Say page and a voting poll for the community of Bemboka to 'have their say' on the preferred site for the sculpture, which closes on September 13.
