2023 SWELL ARTWORK – Calls Home
‘Call Home’ represents cultural diversity through natural elements with the concept of ‘Unity’, ‘Diversity’ and ‘Harmony’.
The base is constructed from a wooden frame and blue board for outdoor applications, covered with 76 tiles, 20cm x 20cm each, made of clay, glazed, and fired in the kiln. The sculpture’s colours represent the Australian landscape, with blues for water, greens for flora, and browns and natural colours for fauna.
The sculpture represents a human body and the mirror ball on top, reflects the viewer as a part of the sculpture.
The project was initiated by Gold Coast Multicultural Arts Group known as GCMAGIC.
