Ode to the Spirit of Endurance, Circa 1886 2014


Commissioned by Pask Group

Procured by Tract Consultants

Location: Grices Road, Berwick

Materials: Galvanised steel, handblown glass and industrial coating.

Eucalypts are sentinnels of the Australian landscape, and feature strongly in Australian art.

They are a towering presence - spiritual custodians of our land.

Sprouting from the stone base, curved lines express landscape motifs from which the sinuous sentinel gum tree stands proud.

Patinas have been chosen to symbolise the unique colours and light of our Continent.  

A sentinel waiting and welcoming people home.
