The Magic Tree

Artist: Coral Lowry

Year of Work: 2006

Location: Windsor Park, South Perth - Near Heritage House

Description: “The idea behind the ‘Magic Tree’ was that it had been planted in the Park and, over time, morphed into a variety of animals,” she said. “This is no ordinary tree, as stemming from the tail-like trunk are leaves that certainly require a closer look, due to the different part of various animals that can be seen within each leaf. “I wanted the Tree to be a guessing game where children could try and work out the different types and parts of the animals embodied in it.”

May Gibbs Inspiration

Artist: Charles and Joan Smith

Year of Work: 2006

Location: Windsor Park, South Perth - NE Part of Park, under Trees

Description: "This sculpture captured the moment in time – when inspired by her love of the West Australian bush and wildlife – May Gibbs glimpsed at those ‘little creatures’ that became the genesis of the magical and enchanting world she created. We wanted to create an atmosphere where perhaps May Gibbs, while sitting in the nature that she loved, glimpsed or imagined the lovable bush creatures that she became famous for.”
