Artist: Si Hummerston
Asset Type: Sculpture
Year of Work:
Location: Intersection of Albany Highway and South West Highway, Armadale
Provenance: City of Armadale
Description:
Si Hummerston’s Link represents the constant movement and flow of people and traffic through Armadale’s major intersection and entry point. For many, this location represents heading down south on holidays or visiting Perth for supplies, acting as an important link between the country and city.
The two intersecting loops are representative of Armadale’s dual identity – one representing the rural landscape and the other the urban environment – reinforced through the playful fine grain details. Observing the artwork from close proximity reveals new and surprising details – a farm truck full of local goods, a faithful dog rides in the ute, a vintage car passes holiday makers towing a caravan, and the ubiquitous kangaroo hops into view.
