Martin Place, art

This is part of an artwork on a hoarding around conservation work at the Colonial Mutual Life Insurance building on the corner of Martin Place and Pitt Street. "Koala 4ever" was created by Elin Matilda Andersson, as an homage to the Koala - all at once a love letter, an apology, a promise that humans will be endeavour to be better companions in the future. Let's never accept the koala becoming a mythical creature of the past.

Barangaroo, art

This artwork is on a construction hoarding at the edge of Barangaroo Reserve at Nawi Cove, in the inner city suburb of Barangaroo. In the distance are terrace houses and hotels on top of a cliff in Millers Point. "Home Sweet Home, 2017" by Reko Rennie is part of "Aurora Eora", a public exhibition of artworks. The design combines the iconography of the artist's heritage, merging traditional diamond-shaped designs and repetitive patterning to subvert romantic ideologies of Aboriginal identity. The male Kamilaroi diamond symbol is a family crest of sorts and the bright pop-inspired colour references the artist's affinity to graffiti and hip-hop culture from his youth. Similar artwork has featured on a building in Surry Hills which can be seen here.

Circular Quay, Vivid Sydney, bench

As part of the Vivid Sydney festival, this bench has been installed along the Circular Quay foreshore, leading up to the Sydney Opera House. The artwork is called "C/C" and is created by Singapore's Angela Chong. It is illuminated at night with low energy, colour changing LED lights. I thought it was worth photographing during the day because it has such a spectacular backdrop. It's a shame the view was partly blocked by the hoarding around the escalators which are being repaired.
