Embark (2018)

Artist(s): Lucy Irvine and Geoff Farquar-Still
This collaborative work was commissioned by Woollahra’s Public Art Panel for Lyne Park, Rose Bay in Sydney for a public park in the process of becoming a recreational and transport hub in an inner suburb undergoing demographic change. As a departure from landmarks that seek to fix our sense of place as a static entity, Embark acts as a contemporary marker that enacts a materials-based understanding of how a place is made and remade through actions and relations. Embark was officially opened by Edmund Capon AM OBE, former Director of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, who acted as a specialist advisor to the Woollahra Public Art Panel from the initial selection of artists through to the completion of the project.
