This whimsical sculpture high on the wall in a narrow lane uses woven wire patterns to lift the view beyond and to the sky. The artwork is of aesthetic significance to the people of BallaratWire sculpture attached to wallOUTROSPECTIVE/ Artist: Bridget Hellier/ This work is inspired by it's setting. Walking through a shopping mall it is easy to become immersed in consumerism and material things. I have tried to create a link between the urban and the natural world. Walking through the area I couldn't find many references to nature. The organic shapes that "grow" out of the wall to attempt to serve as a reference - reminding us of what once was./ Officially opened by Cr Des Hudson 7 December 2011./ Commissioned by the Public Art Advisory Committee on behalf of the City of Ballarat./ City of Ballarat logooutrospective, bridget hellier
