Windows
Sandstone, ironbark, blackbutt, iron and stainless steel.
On a clear day you can see the metropolis of Sydney in the space between the two horizontal beams. This ‘view’ of the city becomes part of the sculpture and encourages the viewer to think about the history and the evolution of Sydney: how it has grown from a penal colony into an immense modern city with towers of glass and steel.
Designed and created by John Petrie, 2002.
