The Journery Ever Onward

This series of work draws upon the architectural features of prominent historic homes of the area. Cast ironwork, filigrees, architraves, and pressed metal ceilings have inspired a series of patterns that decorate the balustrades, pavements, and night-time projections in Wilston's village. Traditionally featuring European flora, these patterned designs instead feature embellishment with local native plants including Eucalyptus, Wattle and Lanoline. Blossoms, gumnuts and native leaves are paired with design cues from historic homes, connecting to the parks and gardens loved by the community. Featuring man-made and nature-inspired forms from the area, these artworks have established a unique Wilston identity. 

The Journey Ever Onward, 2020, series of nine night-lit balustrades, ground-plane etchings and night-lit projections, commissioned by Brisbane City Council as part of the Wilston Village Precinct Project.
