Artwork Concept :
As per the client’s brief, the four integrated artworks respond to the bushland context of Hamersley Public Golf Course; and in particular, the flowering cycle of the Tuart tree. The Tuart (Morrl, Duart, Mooarn, Moorun, Mouarn and Tooart) is the largest Eucalyptus on the Swan Coastal Plain and is significant to the Nyoongar people, the traditional owners of the Southwest Western Australia. The Tuart is also particularly significant to the unique identity of the Hamersley Golf Course site.

Each of the x 38 panels is unique (not repeated imagery) to create a narrative around the Tuart flowering cycle.

The four artworks reflect a visual narrative about the Tuart’s flowering cycle, through: subtle and bold interventions in materials and surfaces, meaningful patterning, layering, illumination, and considered placement/location.

Whilst the four works are interrelated, the quintessential components offer different insights into the Tuart tree’s main features. The artwork connections between the two locations operate as a metaphor for nature’s cycles.

The sandblasted seed elements into the pathway function as a conduit between the two nocturnally illuminated companion pieces – the entry soffit artwork (above), the driving range in-ground work (below), with the soffit work (above).

The artworks were developed through a highly collaborative process of research, drawing, design, digitization, prototype development, partnership with fabricators/installers, and Noongar Elder input.
