Artworks within the City

This work reflects a perspective and understanding of nature as a ‘cyclic’ form. The inspiration in part from the setting that had been developed by the City. She saw in the constructed wetlands surrounding the building something of a ‘return’ to what was at the site in the past, a naturally occurring wetland. The spiral is a most ancient symbol, found on every inhabited continent and it most likely speaks of the life, death and rebirth cycle. Other elements it reflects include the hypnotic, biological evolution, the spiral structure of the galaxy and universal evolution. It is used in Aboriginal art as a symbol of flowing water and the Ouroboros or snake eating its own tail represents the same events occurring over and over – cyclicality. The poetry imbedded in the base of the work is by TS Elliot and speaks of return to the beginning. Location - At the rear of the Administration building, off the paved promontory directly out from the entry foyer, 1317 Albany Highway, Cannington
