Locations

Norfolk - Caves Beach

Kelly-Ann Lees 'Norfolk' references the stands of Norfolk Island Pines growing in the Caves Beach area. The ground is littered with the pieces of the cones that break apart and fall to the ground releasing the seeds as the cones mature.

Elliott Routledge's Little Big Things boldly celebrates the proud hudden identities of Glendale and Cardiff through the use of revealing abstract imagery.

The Hub - Glendale

Designed by Barney Collins & Brendon Farrar (EJE Architecture) The Hub represents the connectivity between Glendale and Cardiff.

Chimera - Speers Point

Chimera, created by Susan Milne and Greg Stonehouse, is deeply connected to the environment and celebrates the significant achievements and legacy of the Lake Macquarie Improvement Project.

Antone Bruinsma’s Beach Blossom was inspired by the native hibiscus flower and symbolises the human spirit rising with the energies of the sun (rise).

No.1 Sky Pig - Warners Bay

Guan Wei’s extraordinary career is global and he is renowned for large installations and painting triptych that combine imagery from mythology, fantasy, history and the present day.
