Owen Davies - Sculpture

Artist: Owen Davies

Asset Type: Sculpture

Year of Work: 1994

Location: Corner of Jull Street and Third Road, Armadale

Provenance: City of Armadale

Description:

Instigated by the Armadale Chamber of Commerce, this sculpture is a tribute to the history and heritage of the area. The 1890s swagman represents the pioneers and tradespeople that contributed greatly to the growth of Armadale. The Y-shaped junction that he draws in the sand highlights the two highways and resembles the design of the Armadale Council crest. He sits next to the waterwheel signifying the importance of the creeks and dams in the area. The seats around the sculpture invite people to rest in a subtle tribute to the local brick and manufacturing industries.
