21.01.2022 GLENLYON PUBLIC ART COMMISSION AWARDED The Glenlyon Public Art Commission has been awarded to Yu Fang Chi for her sculpture titled ‘Drop’. Yu Fang is particul...arly interested in installations that respond to environmental issues. The large reflective water drop brings a focus to the importance of water in our community and pays homage to the water elements of Glenlyon with particular attention to community interaction at the Dam and Mineral Springs. The gold water droplet rings at the sculptures base draw reference from the gold mining era and the inclusion of Dja Dja Wurrung language acknowledges the Traditional Owners and their ongoing connection to the waterways. This artwork invites visitors to pause, appreciate and reconsider the contextual history and natural beauty, said Ms Chi. There will be an artist led talk/workshop with the Glenlyon community - more details to follow. The sculpture will be installed at the Glenlyon Dam area Autumn 2021. These pictures are the artists concept of the work.
