Chippendale, Symbiosis

"Symbiosis" is an artwork at the Central Park redevelopment site, in the inner west suburb of Chippendale. This sculpture created by Caroline Rothwell is a giant red nylon inflated tree fed by white PVC pipes which the artist says symbolises “the artificial, technological and the human circulatory system”. Located on the southern facade of the heritage Irving Street Brewery building, it is the latest temporary artwork in a public art collection.

    ooohhh I love that brewery. Chiippendale is outside of my normal stamping grounds, so I must make a special effort to get down there. Thanks.

    This has to be one of the most unusual and unique "sculptures" I have ever seen. It is quite the eye catcher. Love that vivid red. Hope the winds do not disturb it. genie
