'Burst'
Ryde City Council, 2018
Burst – a landmark sculpture that forms a symbiotic and axial relationship with the exercise mandala and the green world of Wilga Park and Shrimptons creek beyond.
​
A physical and theoretical counterpoint between the active and passive synergies of Wilga Park.
Standing 4 metres tall the eruptive form acts as a physical and theoretical counterpoint between the active and passive synergies of Wilga Park.
​
Located in Wilga Park, the space was identified by ARTSCAPE as appropriate for public art in the Macquarie Park Corridor Public Art Master Plan.
​
The sculpture aligns with Shrimptons Creek, an ecological gem - and the green spine of Macquarie Park. The curious form references flora and fauna and an ability to regenerate through bursts of growth.
​
The sculpture conversely aligns with Flower, Sun, Moon, Head (exercise mandala) thereby referencing a burst of movement and energy synonymous with yoga and fitness.
​
The artwork is complementary to the radial landscape scheme bringing a burst of colour and joy to park users.
