The Guardian
Artist: Alister Yap
Year of Work:
Location: Jull Street Mall (Commerce Avenue end)
Asset Type: Sculpture
Provenance: City of Armadale
Description:
The Guardian stands proudly at the entrance to the Armadale City Centre. Its form is suggestive of wings, with the pillars standing as Gate Keepers or Guardian Angels, to embrace and welcome travellers from the train station into the Jull Street Mall. At night lights blaze from the tips of the wings, projecting into the City Centre, lighting a path forward and emphasising the ongoing potential of the City. The Guardian embraces residents old and new, welcomes visitors to the City, and celebrates the potential of our community.
