Cone Shell

Artist: Anne Neil & Steve Tepper

Year of Work: 2005

Location: 1 Preston Street, Como - Melville Parade

Description: Since settlement, this beautiful river location at Como has been a most popular place to spend leisure and free time. It was a popular holiday destination early last century, particularly for those from the bush - the river and sand being a great attraction. This leads us to the idea of using shells collected along the beach as a source of inspiration – a reference to holidays and playing in the sand.

Untitled by Kyle Hughes-Odgers

Artist: Kyle Hughes-Odgers

Year of Work: 2020

Location: 26-28a Charles Street

Description: These artworks explore the core conceptual themes and narrative around ideas of connection, through people and place. Pattern, shapes and form inspired by mapping and path making. The forms represent destinations. The natural environment and built environment interacting and converging. These destinations, some of which are isolated and others densely configured, can be interpreted as physical or methaporical destinations. The pattern can epitomize geographical connections and locations on a map; the idea of stepping stones, a physical progression to another point. Points between structures, landmarks, the river and the land, the hills, the roads, the ferry and the freeway. This pattern represents formed pathways and mapped movements over time, both minor and major connections.

Resonance

Artist: Amanda Shelsher

Year of Work: 2016

Location: South Perth Foreshore, South Perth - Near River Wall, East of Mends Street Jetty

Description: “Sitting on a site once overwhelmed with black swans in the 1600s, “Resonance” pays respect and tribute to its new location with its century old changing landscape. Three sculptural, bonze feathers are symbolic of the abundant bird life that once stood on these shores and more deeply, speaks of the spirits of people past, present and future. The spine of each feather has historical anecdotal quotes etched into the bronzes.”
