Artist: Chris Nixon

Year of Work: 2012

Location: South Perth Library, South Perth - Internal Walls of Kids Reading Area

Description: As a distinguishing landmark of the City of South Perth, the Perth Zoo was the inspiration for this project. The design incorporates a variety of animals that children would traditionally associate as zoo animals, as well as a few surprises. The artist explored the idea of an encounter between animals and literature: Why would animals go to the library? And what would they do when they got there?
