Furled

Leanne Bray's approach to both these works – was to deliver artwork that best represents a holistic community with the strength of the circle as a symbolic reference to healthy community. Embracing the concept of a ‘positive meeting place’ and creating a bold, clear statement that activates the gathering place and adds to the local aesthetic.

Brought to life by taking something as authentic (to the Australian bush) as a simple gum leaf and transforming it – offering it in a furled fashion! The shape reminiscent of the curl of a wave, with the intimate patterning wrought into its fabric: echoing the interwoven complexities of daily life and busy community.
