About the Artwork:

“A glass skylight, 30m long and 2m wide will tell a story about Wyndham, and how it evolved from a fertile natural habitat into an area supporting a present day community of many cultures, with distinctive visions for the future. The glass captures and reflects the shifting course of light as it travels through its daylight path and fills the interior space. Included within the glass are textures, maps, script, languages and photos definitive of the community groups involved in the project. Primarily the aim was to consider the past, present and future cultural changes and directions, and depict these within artwork”. – Pam Stadus

Materials: Sand cast Glass
