Description

Unique IDA-00062327SeriesMark Goddard Photograph Collection, 2007-2009Date17th January 2009Date qualifierexactFormatPhotograph - DigitalDescriptionView west at Fig Lane Park from Bulwara Road near the corner of Fig Lane, Ultimo. Swellstone water feature created by Australian artist Lucy Bleach in 1996 is in the foreground. Swellstone has text engraved on the lower part of the fountain, which is expected to purposely erode over time as a result of the constant stream of water running over it. The text itself creates a never-ending poem inspired by a local natural spring that once existed on the Pyrmont peninsula known as Tinkers Well. In the background is another 1996 artwork by Lucy Bleach called Outcrop Esculentus Spiralis. It was created using 12 pieces of Pyrmont sandstone engraved with botanical drawings of plants eaten by the local community over the past 200 years. The sandstone pieces are arranged in a circular pattern that radiates from a central point to around 10 metres in diameter.LanguageNo linguistic content - Not applicable (zxx)Author/creatorPhotographer: Mark Goddard
