This public art project is a dynamic, expressive symbol for the community of Boroondara. The intricate detail of this sculptural form acts as a foil to the solidity of the town hall and attempts to express and respond to the dynamic self-organising nature of contemporary society. The sculpture is a symbol of collective behaviour – a swarm or flock of small elements, from which a collective form emerges. This project offers an alternative civic symbol to the adjacent building – a bottom-up logic in opposition to the classical hierarchies of the historic town hall. A fine network of golden veins are embedded within the translucent skin of the form. This skin refracts light and glisten in the sunlight, casting an intricate pattern of shadows on the ground.
