DESCRIPTION
TitleSynergy
Description‘Synergy’, designed and fabricated by metal artist Kane Minogue, is inspired by life on Lake Illawarra for the Wadi Wadi people, the original inhabitants and traditional custodians of the lake and surrounding areas.
It is also representative of Lake Illawarra still today, with the focus of the lake now recreational rather than based on survival.
The artwork uses a ring of 4 m high seaweed intertwined with marine life specific to Lake Illawarra all swimming in an upward circular direction. This design element represents the circle of life within the lake, Synergy and a sense of community.
It’s fabricated from over 3000 recycled metal objects.
Some interesting objects include vintage motorcycle shock absorbers, push bike pedals, bolt cutters, golf clubs, old hand tools and a Hayley Davidson rear vision mirror.
The use of recycled metal objects reflects the artists’ passion for nature and its sustainability. He endeavours for the sculpture to help generate further education, care and respect for Lake Illawarra and the marine life within it.ArtistKane Minogue, Studio 303Geolocation[1] Address43,Reddall Parade,Lake Illawarra,2528,AustraliaExternal LinkLake Illawarra Art Trail
