Enlarge photo 8 Moondae-ring Acoustic Sculpture
This sculpture is a enigmatic coming together of two artistic facets, the visual and the acoustic. In two sections, 'The Hub' (totem-pole structure) and 'The Sentenial' (the rocking horse structure) it hints at all manner of historic significance. The Moondae-Ring rises up out of old railway ground. Steam trains once hissed and hauled only metres from where the sculpture now replays the sound of a 'W' Class locomotive whistle.
Enlarge photo 9 The Second Wave
Second Wave was constructed from the original railway signals and designed for the old Mundaring Station site - now the amphitheatre. The work is a doorway to the amphitheatre and uses exaggerated artificial perspective to create a funnelling effect as the amphitheatre is approached.
Enlarge photo 10 Untitled
This is a unique interpretation of a sculpture that functions as a seat. Inspiration has been drawn from found pieces of machinery that refer to the heritage of Mundaring.
