Bloom

Bloom is a series of sculptures by artist Don Walters and is sited at Old Nursery Park in Yanchep. It consists of twelve sculptures that celebrate the park’s former use as a garden nursery and the likely source of many of the now mature trees in the Yanchep/Two Rocks. Solid, recycled timber poles harmonise with the natural environment and support brightly coloured and folded circular steel forms. Bloom was designed for multiple interpretations, for example, as flowers unfolding into full bloom or, in combination with the timber, as a stylised forest of trees. The artwork is a constant acknowledgement of Old Nusery Park’s past and a joyful and visually stimulating installation that echoes the dynamics of the site and the community’s involvement with it.
