Collaboration with Chris Nixon / Commissioned by Stockland Living / Photography by Jacob Steenson
It is a humbling experience to be presented with an opportunity to create a large scale artwork within any community. The desire is to speak to the site (& surrounds) to reflect the unique qualities & attributes that locals hold so dearly. The design development has been centred around the Canning River & how it has served for generations as a place of provision, travel & gathering. The artwork will be an invitation to the viewer to reflect & converse around these themes alongside their own personal interpretation. This is what brings such vibrancy to painting in such a busy location... the response of the public. Our desire is the integration of the natural world into the built form, speaking to place and purpose to bring vibrancy into the space. The Stockland Riverton shopping centre is a hive of activity & our hope is the artwork serves as a creative intervention in the pace of people's lives as they pass by. That it would illuminate the beauty of Riverton as a community & celebrate the diversity of it's natural surroundings.
