Walk 6: City Sculpture Walk

Sydney City Sculpture Walk

This walk put together for us by Pippa was inspired by an article by Bruce Elder in the S.M.Herald.
About twenty artworks were commissioned from Australian and International artists to form a circuit through the city for  the year 2000, the  City Sculpture Walk.  We didn't manage to see all but our walk included a few extras along the way  such as the  laneway Bird Cages near Angel Place.

Starting at Milsons Pt steps  we proceeded at a nice pace across the bridge on a sunny day.   After 20minutes we paused at the Cahill Lookout where Pippa provided information sheets on the Sculpture  Walk.   The glass elevator was a joyful new experience for four out of six of us with quite the  best views in Sydney for a precious few seconds as we flipped downwards in our glass cage!
It was at the Customs House where we got the first of our viewings of the listed sculptures.

Sculptures viewed were: Tankstream (Lynne Roberts-Goodwin),Palm and Magnolia (Bronwyn Oliver)

Veil of Trees (Janet Laurence and Jisuk Han), Memory is Creation without End (Kimio Tsuchiya.  This work interesting in that it comprises relics from demolished buidings eg. old Pyrmont Bridge.  the Tarpein Way is but a thin veneer covering the Harbour Tunnel.  Folly for Mrs Macquarie (Fiona Hall) and Passage (Anne Graham) representing Georgian bowls.
