Passage

Unique IDPC-000021Creator/ArchitectArtist: Ann GrahamTypeFountainDescriptionCommissioned as part of the Sydney Sculpture Walk for the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Passage by Anne Graham acknowledges the architectural and cultural history of early European settlement. It references surrounding Georgian buildings such as the Conservatorium, the Museum of Sydney, the Barracks and the Mint.

The earliest recorded dwellings on this site are 2 Georgian cottages. The house plan is marked out by polished black granite paving and metal grilles lit from below, through which a light mist rises periodically, evoking ghost-like walls.

The 3 bronze bowls, reflection pools and fountains, represent Georgian washrooms. Georgian washrooms were placed at the back of the house, and water would have been carried up from the Tank Stream for use in the bathing area, kitchen and laundry of the original house.
