Artworks within the City

This piece was inspired by the previous ‘Above all Service’ motto and the general culture and heritage of the City and the specific site location. The themes explored connect the historical use of the site (as a nursery) and express the current and ongoing role of the City in the life of the community. Parallels between the function of the nursery and how the City provides the facilities, the elements of growth and caters to the community’s needs for it to grow and prosper. The work is intended to evoke a range of interpretations, but will certainly communicate notions such as the fertile earth nurturing the seed, a sense of opening and striving upward in a symbiotic relationship of mutual support and growth. The contrasting qualities of the two materials used also present a strong sense of duality: the old and the new, the delicate and the strong, the solid and the fluid, the static and the kinetic and the transient and eternal. The two forms interact and complement each other. Location - At the rear of the Old Town Hall at the end of the path leading from the administration building, 1309 Albany Highway, Cannington
