Park Pair (A)

Winning submission for the 2019 'All Connections to Unley' Art Prize: Heywood Park in Unley is a sentimental sanctuary for me. It was where my partner suggested going on our first date, and now William and I continue to visit, sitting for hours admiring the lush native greenery and animated wildlife. My glass pieces show how two different looking forms can couple together perfectly. Representative of the beautiful variety of trees we admire from the park bench, the pair also display a complementary relationship. The tall, strong and intricate form is juxtaposed with a shorter, curvy and colourful character; the perfect pair from the park.
