Artist: Kashmire Rouw

Asset Type: Architectural sculpture, Public amenity

Year of Work: 2013

Location: Surfers Point, Prevelly

Provenance: Shire of Augusta Margaret River

Description: Enjoy a quiet moment of reflection and connection, breathing in the salty air and admiring the ocean’s awesome power.

Modelled on the mirabilis shell, the spiralling formation highlights the geomorphological processes that have formed the coastline along the region.

Waves and westerly winds blew beach sand, broken seashells and corals into huge sand dunes, over time forming the limestone of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge on top of the granite substrate.

Asset Type: Architectural sculpture

Year of Work: 2013

Location: Surfers Point, Prevelly

Provenance: Shire of Augusta Margaret River

Description: The ocean makes such mesmerising patterns – ripples in sand and the refraction of light through shallow water.

These complex patterns and textures are captured in an abstract interpretation of ocean ripples as waves or swells reflect off reefs and the shorelines of curved bays.

Asset Type: Mural, Community collaboration

Year of Work: 2013

Asset Type: Sculpture

Year of Work: 2013

Location: Pemberton Community Arts Hub, Balang Miya, Brockman St, Pemberton WA 6260

Provenance: Shire of Manjimup

Description: This major public art work, 80 metres in length, has been designed and created by local artists in partnership with the Shire of Manjimup. The inspiration for the concept is the original and beautiful forest landscape and the life within it. The Artscape emphasizes the synergy between the town and its environment.

It has been a community project led by the Pemberton Arts Group with the support of many people from the local district whose assistance has been greatly appreciated. The project which started in February 2011 was completed by May 2013.

The unique concept of dual screens with internal lighting was developed by Mark Grey-Smith. Joanna Box designed the dividing panels and the idea for the children’s work. Anna Czerkasow, PAG Chairperson, assisted throughout the project. Each artist brought their own style and focus to the forest theme. The structure was fabricated and installed by Mark Grey-Smith and Joel Lawrence.
