This art work is located in the Royal Botanic Gardens between Macquarie Street, the Cahill Expressway and the Northern Depot Gate. “Memory Is Creation Without End” by Kimio Tsuchiya was created in 2000 and installed as part of the City of Sydney's Sculpture Walk program. It features sandstone blocks which are relics of demolished buildings symbolising the circular connection of past, present, and future. This perspective shows the proximity of office buildings in the central business district to the botanic gardens.
excellent gem of a post-

Love it, I saw this exhibit when I lived in Oz. My photos are not as good as this!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting set of sculptures!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting art work. It's been a while since I was in Sydney and this was not there the last time I visited.
ReplyDeleteNice shot for SS!

Thanks, Roberto. Good to see you back blogging again and commenting.
ReplyDeleteInteresting artwork Jim, like the way you've composed this shot showing the comparison between art and commerce and then of course there's that fabulous sky. Nice one!
ReplyDeleteI love this little nook, Jim, and the ready access to the Cahill Expressway. I get very nostalgic standing there for the Macquuarie Street that was: with the grand terraces before we saw fit to tear them down in the name of progress.
ReplyDeleteLove the juxtaposition of old and new.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating way to display the history.
ReplyDeleteI do like that quote, or title of the work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great composition! Love the contrasts.
ReplyDeleteInterressante, cette confrontation entre les ruines et le modernisme
ReplyDeleteWoW! that was absolutely wonderful. .
ReplyDeleteWould appear a few of these come from the YWCA building, as can be seen on one labelled with 'YWCA 1924' and the two stones with the date of the foundation stone laying and the opening are from the same building. Not sure how many of the other pieces are from the YWCA building.
