The design was focusing upon the site's indigenous past and more broadly the indigenous past of the land Australia as whole. I drew from the well known aboriginal tale of the Rainbow Serpent as inspiration and wanted to emulate its professed shaping of the land. The flowing organic forms however are made from more linear fragmented forms to identify with the unified yet multifaceted nature of Australian aboriginal culture.
The marker is close to the road in order to be identified with the Sports park upon passing, however i wanted the piece to also be a retreat from the road. A retreat to nature. The inside of the marker is fundamentally a walkway through trees and bush occasionally encased by a timber veneer.
There are glass holes across the of the facade in a way that would refract the headlights of cars that pass at night, casting a prism of light into the walkway and in doing so relay the spiritual mystique of the aborigional past.
