Prado Residences, Richmond, 2013
Commissioned by Appia Development

Set on each of the five low landscape walls and facing the walkway is a dragon. The mythical figure is at human scale - each dragon gazes at the passerby at eye level. These dragons recall the magnificent stone and bronze sculptures of old China, yet a more direct reference is to the mass-produced ephemera of the modern era.

The artwork is about shifts in symbolic meaning. It is about continuity and change - how symbols may retain their potency yet also become decorative - to what becomes lost, or altered, on its’ way to something new.
