Commissioned by South Sydney Council for Art In Site Program, Victoria Park Pool, Camperdown.

​

Two rectangular panels of ripple textured perspex

1.8x 7m long run the length of the foyer ceiling.

 

Behind each panel is a black stripe, distorted as in the manner of water rippling over it in a swimming lane. The concept was to create the illusion of an inverted swimming pool overhead which stimulates an awareness of fluidity, mass and light and alludes to an imaginative space beyond.

 

The art work was intended to engage the viewer in their movement through the space, creating a performative element- that of following the line as one moves through the space and observing the changing pattern of the line as one does so.

​

The panels sit over the entry and exit pathways of the foyer, with a moving light travelling around the internal perimeter left to right, in the convention of swimming up and down a lane.
